'Half a century ago, two brilliant students caused a sensation with a radical and inspiring memorandum on an overdue university reform in Germany. In their respective academic fields, both have become masters of worldwide renown. It is an exciting experience to follow these two brilliant minds on their intellectual itinerary towards path-breaking interpretations of the present fate of democracy in Europe.' — Jürgen Habermas
