The Boundaries of Agreement / Die Grenzen der Verständigung
Ein Geistergespräch zwischen Lyotard und Habermas
In this monograph, Manfred Frank comments on a fictional debate – one about dissension and consensus. Though it did not actually occur between Jean François Lyotard and Jürgen Habermas, it is presented here in the form of an imaginary conversation.
This is about something fundamental: sensing the line of demarcation that separates the understanding-oriented exchange of arguments on the one hand from insistence on dispute and, on the other, an incoherent pluralism of remarks. Is the...

In this monograph, Manfred Frank comments on a fictional debate – one about dissension and consensus. Though it did not actually occur between Jean François Lyotard and Jürgen Habermas, it is presented here in the form of an imaginary conversation.
This is about something fundamental: sensing the line of demarcation that separates the understanding-oriented exchange of arguments on the one hand from insistence on dispute and, on the other, an incoherent pluralism of remarks. Is the consensus theory too harmonistic? Can the search for harmony show traits of discursive power? Or, can the thesis be supported, that conflict may not be resolved in the absence of universally accepted rules of arbitration, without contradiction; that is, without raising any validity claims? The responses to these questions demonstrate whether we – as Lyotard believes – have grown irrevocably out of the interpretation reserves of the »Occident« (in its last stamping as »the Modern«), or whether the Modern – as Habermas assumes – has the ability to learn self-criticism. (book description of the English edition published by The Davies Group)

Aspects of Subjectivity
Modern thought as a whole has been characterised as a »philosophy of the subject«. The subject owes this distinction to the hope that it might serve as the ultimate principle of the justification of knowledge. But the problem of establishing the structure of the subject itself has been largely ignored.
This structure is the focus of the philosopher Manfred Frank’s...

Sense of Self
Self-consciousness was such a strong theme in philosophical modernity that it could be taken to characterize the entire epoch. Alongside the expression Self-Consciousness, which first arose during the 18th century, another concept made the rounds and was actually more widespread back then: Sense of Self. But why should self-consciousness be a feeling, some pre-conceptual...
