(1982) Habermas, Basingstoke, Palgrave Macmillan.
In a study written in 1957 Habermas drew up a sketchy typology of the main trends in Marxism at that time.1 In the postwar period Marxism was either one scholarly subject among many, or the official ideology of various communist parties. A change, however, could be discerned and Habermas described it with sympathy at a distance: out of the womb of party Marxism, "humanist" and "critical" tendencies were born, as a sign of the pluralisation and individualisation of the doctrine which may help to reintroduce it into the realm of public discourse.
