Dedicated to
Professor Jürgen Habermas,
Who, in 2019, is still intellectually active at the age of 90, and
who has continually offered me and my wife Young-Hee
unending inspiration and encouragement, which has led
our intellectual journey – lively and vibrantly – toward a dialogue
between East and West since, and particularly during,
his first and only visit to South Korea, in 1996, with his wife Ute.
