This article analyses the writings of a prominent German social and political theorist - Jurgen Habermas - on the process of (reunification in Germany and examines responses to his interventions by right-wing thinkers opposed to his views. (Re)unification is a setting of rapidly developing and changing events which present a challenge to Habermas' thinking. Put simply, Habermas is highly critical of the 'rush towards (re)unification' and the process which has followed it. In particular, he objects to attempts by right-wing thinkers, predominantly historians, to rewrite German history and which elude German responsibility in respect of the horrors of the Holocaust. Equally, he has explicitly shown the links between questions of German identity and the rewriting of German history and argues that the only viable identity for Germany post-(re)Unification is that of 'constitutional identity' and not national identity. His writings have, however, been the subject of sometimes vehement and vitriolic critiques and this article seeks not only to engage with these but also to examine the interventions of Habermas in relation to his earlier more theoretical writings. |
