Teoría de la acción comunicativa, II. Crítica de la razón funcionalista

Rate this book
La crítica a la razón funcionalista es una apartado en donde Habermas se propone analizar en profundidad los principales aspectos de la teoría de sistemas de Talcott Parsons, desde un sentido crítico en torno a la teoría de la acción comunicativa.
La primera parte de este segundo volumen, está destinada a la explicación de lo que Habermas entiende como un cambio de paradigma en la Sociología respecto del entendimiento de la actividad teleológica hacia la acción comunicativa, en el marco de una nueva teoría comprehensiva de la interacción social. En esta dirección, el autor comienza a explicar la relación entre los sistemas y el mundo de la vida, como un concepto capaz de hacer avanzar a las Ciencias Sociales hacia un sentido comprehensivo de la acción social.

About the author

Jürgen Habermas

378 books698 followers
Jürgen Habermas is a German sociologist and philosopher in the tradition of critical theory and American pragmatism. He is perhaps best known for his work on the concept of the public sphere, the topic of his first book entitled The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere. His work focuses on the foundations of social theory and epistemology, the analysis of advanced capitalistic societies and democracy, the rule of law in a critical social-evolutionary context, and contemporary politics—particularly German politics. Habermas's theoretical system is devoted to revealing the possibility of reason, emancipation, and rational-critical communication latent in modern institutions and in the human capacity to deliberate and pursue rational interests.
