Hannah Peaceman presents a working paper on 'Habermas' reference the Enlightenment and his assumption of a "Jewish-Christian tradition" - Section of the second chapter of my dissertation project'

The topic of Hannah Peaceman's PhD-project is Jewish critiques of Enlightenment and their potential for contemporary political philosophy. In this paper, Hannah Peaceman presents one section of the second chapter which serves to embed her approch in debates of political philosophy. She firstly reconstructs Habermas' interpretation of the (Dialectics of) Enlightenment. In a second step she critically reflects on his supposition of a "Jewish-Christian line of tradition" as a predecessor for deliberative democracy.
