Jürgen Habermas 
Communication and the Evolution of Society [EPUB ebook] 

Support

In this important volume Habermas outlines the views which form the
basis of his critical theory of modern societies. The volume
comprises five interlocking essays, which together define the
contours of his theory of communication and of his substantive
account of social change.
‘What is Universal Pragmatics?’ is the best available statement of
Habermas’s programme for a theoryof communication based on the
analysis of speech acts. In the following two essays Habermas draws
on the work of Kohlberg and others to develop a distinctive account
of moral consciousness and normative structures. ‘Toward a
Reconstruction of historical Materialsim’ takes these issues
further, offering a wide-ranging reconstruction of Marx’s
historical materialsim understood as a theory of social evolution.
The final essay focuses on the question of legitimacy and on the
legitimation problems faced by modern states.
This book is essential reading for anyone concerned with the key
questions of social and political theory today.
