v. 1. Reason and the rationalization of society -- v. 2. Lifeworld and system : a critique of functionalist reason.
Jürgen Habermas (born June 18, 1929) is a German sociologist and philosopher in the tradition of critical theory and pragmatism.
"A substantial study that displays all the rigour and systemicity,
the vision and the originality, which have justly earned Habermas
the reputation of being the foremost social and political thinker
in Germany today ... The Theory of Communicative
Action represents a major contribution to contemporary social
theory. Not only does it provide a compelling critique of some of
the main perspectives in twentieth-century philosophy and social
science, but it also presents a systematic synthesis of the many
themes that have preoccupied Habermas for thirty years." – Times
Literary Supplement
"One of the broadest, most comprehensive, elaborately and intensely
theoretical works in social theory. Social theory and philosophy
may never be the same again" – Philosophy and Social Criticism
