This chapter explores Jürgen Habermas’s conception of a post-metaphysical idea of public reason as basis of democratic legitimacy in postsecular societies. It discusses Habermas’s interpretation of Kant’s and Hegel’s philosophies of religion in terms of their efforts to ‘translate’ theological substance into ethico-political form, thus giving a secular meaning to the idea of God’s Kingdom. The chapter shows the roots of Habermas’s adoption of ‘methodological atheism’ in the writings of Karl Jaspers and Ernst Bloch on the relation between philosophy and faith in revelation. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the similarities between Habermas’s and Jacques Derrida’s defences of an essential messianic component in contemporary democratic theory.

In der Aufklärung prägte Kant die Idee weltbürgerlicher Freiheit. Karl Jaspers und Hannah Arendt sprachen von einem »Geisterreich«, dem die Essays in vielen anderen Werken nachspüren. Aufklärung soll nach Kant zu weltbürgerlicher Freiheit führen. Die weitreichenden Folgen, welche diese Idee in Religion, Philosophie, Literatur und Politik schaffen kann, erkunden die biographischen Essays bis in die Moderne. Hannah Arendt und Karl Jaspers sprachen emphatisch vom »Geisterreich«, das Intellektuelle in weltbürgerlicher Absicht zeitübergreifend bilden. Und doch ist alle persönliche Nachdenklichkeit auch von der geschichtlichen Zeit geprägt. So werden nach Kant gegen vielfältige Widerstände Hamann, Humboldt und Hölderlin um 1800 zu besonderen Figuren der Freiheit. Den politischen Raum der Moderne eröffnet Max Weber, während Jürgen Habermas ihn anders bis ins 21. Jahrhundert denkt. Eigenwillige Geister wie Peter Suhrkamp und Dietrich Bonhoeffer spitzen nach 1933 die deutschen Erfahrungen in ihrem Denken und Handeln zu, während Ingo Schulze sie unter gewendeten Verhältnissen heute literarisch neu ins Gespräch bringt. Neben Paul Celan stehen Virginia Woolf und Adam Zagajewski exemplarisch für europäische Figuren der Freiheit, die in ganz unterschiedlichen Lebenslagen aus dem poetischen Bewusstsein der eigenen Individualität leben.

Habermas’s postmetaphysical reading of Kierkegaard is paradigmatic for his understanding of religion. It shows, why Habermas reduces religion to fideism. Therefore the paper reconstructs Habermas’s reception of Kierkegaard and compares it with the accounts of Dieter Henrich and Michael Theunissen. Furthermore it demonstrates how Habermas makes use of Kierkegaard’s dialectics of existence to formulate his postmetaphysical thesis of a cooperative venture.

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a relação entre a desobediência civil e a democracia no pensamento político contemporâneo, através das obras de Hannah Arendt, Norberto Bobbio, John Rawls e Jürgen Habermas. A indissociabilidade entre democracia e desobediência civil emerge num ambiente favorável mas antinómico e pleno de tensão.

The chapter continues to discuss the association of judgment and sovereignty using Franz Kafka’s story Das Urteil (The Judgment). It does so in order to then introduce the public nature of spectating and how this has been played out in the thinking of Jurgen Habermas concerning speech situations, and in Hannah Arendt’s writings on the polis. Rather than pitch the public in contrast to the private, the chapter suggests spectating plays on the binary in ways that enrich both. This coming together of the private and public is then woven into the understanding of strategic inquiry as an organizational forming of self-presentation.
