به‌سوی جامعه‌ای عقلانی؛ اعتراضات دانشجویی،علم و سیاست

Rate this book
موفقیّت نظام سرمایه‌داریِ غرب در سه‌دههٔ پس از پایان جنگ دوّم جهانی، از حیث گسترش رفاه مادّی، منتقدانش را ناگزیر به بازبینیِ نظریه‌هایی کرد که اغلب معتقد بودند تضادهای موجود در این نظام، عاقبت به تغییرات ساختاری در آن خواهد انجامید. هابرماس، موفقیت سرمایه‌داری را نه در توانایی‌اش در رفع تضادهای نامبرده، بلکه در جابجایی محلّ منازعات فیصله‌بخش می‌داند. جابجایی‌ای که او آن را حاصل تحوّل در سازماندهی تولید دانش به‌شمار می‌آورد. این تحوّل به تغییر ساختار مراکز پژوهشی انجامیده، دانش و فناوری را به یکی از عناصر مشروعیت‌بخشِ آن تبدیل کرده و خصلت روبنایی دولت را دگرگون کرده‌است.
توصیف، تحلیل انتقادی و تبعات اجتماعی و سیاسیِ این وضعیت جدید، موضوع مقالاتی هستند که در این کتاب گردآوری شده‌اند. مقالاتی که در آنها، هابرماس از جمله دانشجویان را دعوت می‌کند تا از طریق قرار دادنِ موضوع گفت‌و‌گوی میان علم و سیاست در مرکز توجه‌شان، به نقد سیاستگذاری‌های تحقیقاتی‌ای بپردازند که به‌واسطهٔ آنها، نظام سرمایه‌داری از جامعه، سیاست‌زدایی و بقای خود را تضمین می‌کند.

About the author

Jürgen Habermas

378 books697 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.

this is a great way to read something like “continental philosophy of science” without having to read knowledge and human interests. the first three are remarkably accessible for habermas, the last three, regular dense and obfuscating prose. in any case it’s deeply fascinating how habermas takes a historically specific approach to what it means to master technology in his time, and how we can be conscious of its deployment for particular ends, rather than leave the decision to the military. i think the soil of today is fertile for a new kind of positivist dispute but this time we die to AI overlords. don’t expect too much marxism in this book, he’s into democracy an inordinate amount

A lot of this was like ‘awh, wouldn’t it be nice if things could be this way’

Last essay is very, very good. Habermas’ premonitions on technology have sadly aged like a fine wine

“The growth of productive forces is not the same as the intention of the ‘good life’. It can at best serve it.”
