Adrian Atanasescu

Biography

Research interests: The political philosophy of Jürgen Habermas; critical theory; hermeneutics; religion and politics; the politics of Germany and Eastern Europe. In my doctoral dissertation, I look at the theoretical and normative tensions the recent “post-secular” turn in Habermas’ thought generates for his project of a “post-metaphysical” grounding of modernity. Publications: Atanasescu, Adrian. “Notes on the Winter of our Discontent: Can Deliberative Democracy be Adapted to Eastern Europe?.” Accepted for publication. In Romanian. (2015).
