A paperback edition of Jürgen Habermas's "Auch eine Geschichte der Philosophie" is now available. It features a new "Afterword" by Habermas - "Nachwort zur Taschenbuchausgabe", vol. 2, pp. 811-833.
The "Afterword" has the following sections:
1. Warum Glauben und Wissen?
2. Die Bedeutung der Alternative zwischen Hume und Kant
3. Warum "auch" eine Geschichte der Philosophie?
4. Desozialisierung der Weltbilder
5. Detranszendentalisierte Vernunft und Emanzipation zur Freiheit
6. Die Motivationsschwäche der Vernunftmoral
7. Vernunft in der Geschichte - was bleibt davon?
Section 2, 5, and 7 reuse text from Jürgen Habermas, "Rückblick eines Autors", Deutsche Zeitschrift für Philosophie, vol. 69, no. 2 (2021), pp. 231-240. English: "An Author's Retrospective View", Constellations, vol. 28, no. 1 (2021), pp. 5-10. But the entire text has been rewritten.
In the new edition, Habermas has also corrected a number of factual and linguistic errors, but not all. The corrections are not highlighted. It has the advantage that the page numbers are the same as in the first edition.
The paperback edition also contains a useful name index.
