"I am extremely impressed by your comprehensive bibliography"

                                                  Professor Juergen Habermas
                                                 (from a letter to D.
Douramanis)
Dear everyone,

After two years of research I have finally completed and published what is
without doubt the most exhaustive and up-to-date bibliography of Habermas's
works for English-speaking readers. "Mapping Habermas" contains an up-to-date
record of Habermas's German publications (including the pirate editions), and
all English translations and re-translations. It identifies abridged and
non-abridged translations, and provides additional information in footnote
form (there are 335 footnotes in total). This additional footnoted information
is an important feature of the bibliography. For example, given that many
re-translations have been printed under different titles the reader will be
able to know whether they need to read a specific article as they may have
already read it under a different title. Furthermore, given that most of
Habermas's writings originally appeared in journals, newspapers, edited books
and magazines, or were delivered as lecture or discussion and occasional
papers, information on their origin and/or occasion is also given in the
footnotes.

The "book contents" of the German edition books have been displayed as if one
had the German editions in front of them with the corresponding page numbers
of each chapter or essay, interview etc. Whenever a section has been
translated the relevant information is given directly below the German title -
this allows readers to clearly identify exactly which parts of Habermas's
German edition books have and have not been translated. This format proves
very useful in cases when readers come across writings refering to a German
edition of Habermas's works - one can easily identify the German edition in
the bibliography and immediately recognise whether the cited section of the
book has been translated into English.

Works not published in Habermas's books (i.e., journal articles, newspaper and
magazine articles, etc.) are cited as works in their own right.

An extensive German-English "Key-words in Title" index is provided, and all
untranslated works cited are provided with an English translation of the title
[in square brackets] to assist non-German-speaking readers to identify the
topics of these papers.

Users of the bibliography can be assured that a great deal of attention was
paid to maintain accuracy.

My decision to compile "Mapping Habermas" was motivated by a concern that
there was quite simply no comprehensive source one could rely on to identify
exactly which of Habermas's writings were actually available in English. This
problem has - for now at least - been overcome.

The publication of "Mapping Habermas" was not intended to be (and is not) a
profit making venture. Its price has been set to cover production costs only.
It is glue-bound in paperback and A5 in size (206 x 135mm).

Price per copy:

Habermas has welcomed this bibliography with great enthusiasm. I anticipate
that many will appreciate the benefits of such a research aid.
