“The great German political philosopher, Jürgen Habermas, died last week at the age of 96, at home in Starnberg, Bavaria. Born in 1929, he lived through one of Germany’s most tumultuous eras. He was a member of the Hitler Youth as a boy and was sent, as a 15-year-old, to the western front to man anti-aircraft defences in the final months of the Second World War. After the war, he became a left-wing student firebrand while studying philosophy at the universities of Göttingen, Zurich and Bonn – from the last of which, he earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1954.” (03/16/26)
