Full textAbstract:
This paper presents a revision of the way in which Jürgen Habermas returns to the critical tradition of Marxism regarding the topic of ideology. After the characterization of Habermasian thinking regarding the progress of instrumental rationality (at the expense of communicative reason) it confronts the debate between Habermas and Niklas Luhmann within German Social Theory. Finally, the third section focuses on showing the differences regarding the conception of the place of law in society, based on the theoretical frameworks of Habermas and Luhmann.El presente trabajo plantea una revisión de la forma en que Jürgen Habermas retoma la tradición crítica del marxismo respecto del tópico de la ideología. Luego y a partir de la caracterización del pensamiento de Habermas respecto del avance de la racionalidad instrumental (en detrimento de la razón comunicativa) afrontaremos el debate que han sostenido Habermas y Niklas Luhmann en el seno de la Teoría social alemana. Finalmente, la tercera sección se centra en mostrar las diferencias en la concepción sobre el lugar del derecho en la sociedad, a partir de los marcos teóricos de Habermas y Luhmann.

Underhill, Michael Alfred. "From Adorno to Habermas : the paradigm shift in critical theory." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2001. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.364586.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an investigation into the 'paradigm shift' in Critical Theory which I regard as a critical transformation of Adorno's materialist critique of the philosophy of consciousness to Habermas' intersubjective critique of the philosophy of consciousness. It is concerned primarily, though not exclusively with the writings of Theodor Adorno and Jiirgen Habermas. It is the contention of this thesis that the writings of Adorno are of central importance for an adequate understanding of Habermas' reorientation of Critical Theory. Habermas' more recent writings on Adorno, I wish to argue, do not do justice to Adorno's influence. This thesis develops the argument that Habermas' critique of Adorno is implicit in his earliest writings and it is the aim of this thesis to make this critique explicit. While Habermas' critique of the first generation of Critical Theorists, i.e. that they remain, despite their intentions, caught up in the 'Philosophy of Consciousness', is plausible in broad outline, this critique is inadequately worked through. This deficiency is exacerbated by Habermas' tendency to conflate Adorno with Horkheimer and Marcuse. Therefore, despite these writings, it can be maintained that Habermas' has yet to adequately articulate his critical relationship to Adorno. I take this implicit critique to be the determinate negation of Adorno's critique of the philosophy of consciousness. This thesis is not intended as a comprehensive history of the development of critical theory. Rather it concerns three discrete though related areas. In the first instance I reconstruct Adorno's critique of Ursprungsphilosophie and assess its influence on Habermas' conception of Post-metaphysical Thinking. In the second instance I make an excursus into social theory and assess the shifting conceptions of reification and socialization. Finally I reconstruct Adorno's critique of moral philosophy and assess its impact on Habermas and Apel's Discourse Ethics. In conclusion I survey recent Postmodem ethical theories and assess their challenge to the moral philosophies of Critical Theory.

Full textAbstract:
Le célèbre débat qui, dans les années soixante, opposa l’herméneutique à la Théorie critique, par l’intermédiaire de leurs principaux représentants respectifs, H.-G. Gadamer et J. Habermas, met en scène une alternative tranchée entre « conscience herméneutique » et « conscience critique » (P.Ricoeur). L’histoire de la Théorie critique montre cependant que sa volonté de s’immerger dans lacrisis qu’est l’histoire, son refus de se constituer en « science traditionnelle » l’amènent à tisser avec l’herméneutique des relations plus complexes qu’il n’y paraît. Ainsi Adorno érige-t-il« l’interprétation » en paradigme de la réflexion philosophique. La théorie habermassienne, dans sa volonté d’assurer à la critique ses fondements de droit, marque une rupture avec un tel paradigme, au profit de celui de la reconstruction. Mais ce tournant, qui vient bouleverser la Théorie critique dans sa conception initiale, n’a-t-il pas pour prix une approche moins pénétrante des phénomènes de domination ? La question est posée par A. Honneth, qui, pour pallier ce déficit critique, élabore une philosophie sociale moins soucieuse de la question de la fondation philosophique et plus hospitalière au thème herméneutique.Cette interrogation ouvre la possibilité d’une relecture de la pensée adornienne, attentive aux accomplissements critiques dont peut se prévaloir la singulière « herméneutique allégorique » qu’elle met en oeuvreIn the Sixties took place a famous debate setting against each other hermeneutics, represented byGadamer, and Critical theory, represented by Habermas. It embodied a deep-seated antagonismbetween « hermeneutical conscience » and « critical conscience » (P. Ricoeur). However, its historyshows that Critical theory’s decision to merge within history, conceived as crisis, and its refusal of« traditional science » lead it to establish complex connections with the hermeneutical trend. ThusAdorno sets up « interpretation » as a paradigm for philosophical thinking. Because he is concernedwith giving Critical theory its philosophical foundation, Habermas breaks with this paradigm, followinginstead the path of reconstruction. This turn undermines the initial conception of Critical theory; andone might ask - as does A. Honneth - if it does not weaken its ability to detect social dominationphenomena. In order to remedy to the critical shortcomings of habermasian theory, Honneth worksout a social philosophy which is less concerned about the question of philosophical foundation andmore open to the hermeneutical motives.This questioning opens the way for a new reading of Adorno’s philosophy, focused on the criticalachievements of « allegorical hermeneutics »

Cannon, Robert. "Rethinking the normative content of critical theory : Marx, Habermas and beyond." Thesis, Middlesex University, 1998. http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/11107/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis criticizes Marx's labour theory of value in terms of Habermas's critique of subject-centred thinking, before going on to criticize Habermas's subject-centred approach to the economic system in terms of an intersubjectively re-formulated conception of labour, for while Habermas restores normative content to the principle of self-constitution he restricts it to communicative action. This places the economic system (and its bureaucratic state apparatus) beyond the normative content of modernity. Drawing upon Honneth's writings on struggles for recognition, the thesis seeks to re-normatize labour on the basis of worker's own struggles to re-normatize the economic system. The first half of the thesis explores the tensions that arise from Marx's attempt to locate his critique of capitalism in a subject-centred conception of self-constitution. Although Marx seeks to historicize the categories of political economy (in line with capitalist exchange relations), he also seeks to preserve a transhistorical conception of labour as the subject of self-objectification (as the standpoint from which to criticize capitalism). However, this leaves Marx vulnerable to his own historical critique of political economy. It is then argued that it is only possible to redeem the latter by re-grounding critical theory in the labour movement's social and historical struggles to oppose capital. This requires a re-formulation of Marx's labour theory of value. In place of Marx's notion that 'value' is an expression of self-objectifying labour we substitute Simmel's intersubjective approach to money-value. Marx's account of value is then understood as arising from the diremption of intersubjectivity into an 'objective' economic system and its 'subjective' agents. This generates a bifurcation of selfconstitution with the intersubjective form of normative social-constitution, on the one side, and the dirempted objective and subjective forms of economic-constitution on the other. The second half of the thesis critically analyzes Habermas' s contention that modern sociality is divided into a normative lifeworld and a non-normative system. This takes the form of an empirical critique of Habermas' s restriction of normativity to communicative action, and a theoretical critique of his restriction of the charge of reification to the economic system's encroachment upon the latter. In keeping with the theory of discourse ethics, it is argued that Habermas cannot legitimately withdraw normative content from labour and claim universal scope for the former. Consequently, not only is the economic system's capacity to suppress the normativity of labour invalid from the standpoint of 'practical reason', but so is Habermas's attempt to legitimate the system on the basis of 'functional reason'. The thesis draws on Honneth's work to extend the realm of intersubjectivity into the economy on the basis of the struggles of the labour movement to sublate its diremption of self-regulating system and self-interested actors. We conclude by arguing that trade unions and the welfare state may be understood to comprise normative vehicles for subjecting 'market-value' to an intersubjectively accountable form of 'social-value'.

Full textAbstract:
Uppsatsen handlar om huruvida sociologin fortfarande är relevant när ekonomivetenskapen breddar sitt studiefält till att inte längre vara självklart ekonomisk utan också ställa frågor som traditionellt legat på sociologins bord. Genom en teoretisk analys av statistiska resultat angående användandet av inköpslista i samband med matvaruinköp undersöker uppsatsen huruvida ekonomins klassiska handlingsteori, rational choice, och dess antaganden om homo economicus är tillräckligt för att förklara de resultat som uppkommer. Jürgen Habermas teori om kommunikativt handlande, och Webers handlingsteori används som exempel på utpräglat sociologiska handlingsteorier vars förklaringsförmåga av de uppkomna resultaten jämförs med rational choice theory. Arbetet visar hur ekonomivetenskapen i sin strävan att bredda sitt studiefält behöver ifrågasätta vissa klassiska antaganden, något som under senare årtionden har inträffat, och att sociologin kan ge förklaringar där klassisk ekonomisk teori faller kort.

Connelly, Brian. "The theory of Jurgen Habermas : its application to the theorisation of adult education." Thesis, University of Surrey, 1996. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/843831/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis argues that adult education in Britain, and other parts of the Western world, is undergoing a process of instrumentalisation which is detrimental to its identity and ethos. Opposition to this instrumentalisation requires the development of a theory of adult education which will protect its ethos and identity, and challenge the neo-liberal ideas of the policy-makers who are initiating this process. This theory must not only explain the role of adult education, by locating it in its historical, educational and social context, but also demonstrate its educational and social importance or intrinsic worth. This requires that the theory also satisfies the criteria of theoretical adequacy: the theory must demonstrate explanatory power and reach. An examination of the main traditions of adult education theory in Britain shows that these traditions do not meet these conditions. This thesis argues that Habermas' theory of communicative action can provide the basis for the required theory of adult education. This is demonstrated through a dialogical, methodological approach to the research which reflects Habermas' method in constructing his theory. This approach takes three forms. The detailed, critical study of the Habermasian oeuvre identifies those themes important and relevant to a theory of adult education, and highlights their major strengths and weaknesses. A representative overview of the main critiques of these thematic areas is integrated into this critical study to enable further assessment of the validity of Habermas' theory. This assessment affirms the theoretical adequacy of Habermas' communicative project, but also identifies problematic areas which need further investigation or development if that adequacy is to be strengthened. The thesis then examines the extent to which adult education theorists recognise the possibilities of an Habermasian-informed adult education theory. This examination demonstrates that the overall level of understanding and familiarity with the Habermasian oeuvre, and its important, relevant themes, is not sufficient to satisfy the theoretical conditions identified above. The thesis concludes by drawing from Habermas' work, and from the more relevant interpretations of adult educators and educators, to present a Habermasian-informed adult educational theory which does satisfy these conditions, and thus could provide an effective challenge to the neo-liberal instrumentalisation of adult education currently taking place.

Resumo: A presente tese tem o objetivo de fazer uma leitura reconstrutiva de um tema fundamental explorado por Jürgen Habermas: a categoria de ?esfera pública?. Este tema da esfera pública é examinado no contexto da passagem entre o universo teórico de Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit (1962) e Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns (1981) em relação àquele de Faktizität und Geltung (1992). Nesta transição, Habermas reformula uma série de questões introduzidas nas suas investigações anteriores sobre o tema da esfera pública e configura uma perspectiva teórica modificada. O momento-chave desta transição é o prefácio à nova edição de Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit, publicada em 1990. Esta retomada pode ser desdobrada em dois eixos que se correlacionam: a) A reformulação do conteúdo da esfera pública (limitações e deficiências), a ampliação da categoria e o alargamento da infra-estrutura da esfera pública, agora com novas características e novos papéis; b) O reposicionamento da esfera pública por um rearranjo interno num contexto teórico mais amplo da teoria da ação comunicativa e da reformulação da relação sistema-mundo da vida da teoria da sociedade. O exame a ser realizado neste trabalho será temático, não cronológico. Isto nos permite mostrar melhor que há dois momentos que podem ser distinguidos analiticamente, e que a autocrítica é dupla, tanto da noção mesma de esfera pública quanto da posição dessa categoria no quadro da teoria social comunicativa, e que andam paralelamente.
Abstract: The present thesis has the objective to do a reconstructive reading of a fundamental theme explored by Jürgen Habermas: the category of ?public sphere?. It is examined in context of the passage between the theoretical universe of Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit (1962) and Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns (1981) in relation to that one of Faktizität und Geltung (1992). In this transition, Habermas reformulating a series of questions introduced in its previous inquiries on the theme of public sphere, and formulating a modified theoretical perspective. The key moment of this transition is the preface to the new edition of Strukturwandel der Öffentlichkeit, published in 1990. This retaken can be unfolded in two axles that if correlate: a) A reformularization of the category (its limitations and deficiencies), the extending of the content and enlarge of the infrastructure of the public sphere, now with new characteristics and new functions; b) The new position of the public sphere through an internal rearrangement in the extended theoretical context of the communicative action and in the reformularization of the relation system-lifeworld of the theory of society. This examination will be thematic, and not chronological. This allows showing better that it has two moments that can be analytically distinguished, and showing that the self-critique is twofold, of the public sphere as well as the communicative social theory, and that walking parallel.

Kim, Donghyun. "Reason, tradition, and authority : a comparative study of Habermas and Gadamer." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2011. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2812/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the possibilities for normative grounding of authority through a focus on the relationship between Habermas’s ‘critical theory’ and Gadamer’s ‘philosophical hermeneutics’, with particular reference to the bases of authority in East Asian culture. More specifically, it examines the role of reason and tradition in justifying political authority. Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics locates the conditions of authority in tradition, constituted in part by prejudice, while Habermas offers a theory of communicative action that transcends the limited horizons of tradition. The distinction between reason and tradition is applied in East Asian culture through an analysis of the practice of filial piety. The thesis endorses Habermas’s charge that Gadamer hypostatizes tradition. Habermas correctly identifies the political implication of Gadamer’s philosophical hermeneutics, namely, that it obscures power relations. It is argued that Habermas’s ‘communicative action theory’ and ‘discourse ethics’ are better able to do justice to the basis for the normative grounding of authority. The relevance of discourse ethics for the justification of political authority in East Asian culture is explored.

Murdoch University, 2005. http://wwwlib.murdoch.edu.au/adt/browse/view/adt-MU20060125.105249.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is an exploration of the condition of critical debate in contemporary liberal democracies that is based upon a combined reading of the works of Hannah Arendt and Jurgen Habermas. It begins with an elaboration of the position that Arendt and Habermas identify a similar malaise as afflicting modern liberal democracies, which is argued to result from a shared perception that such democracies fail to create a forum for critical public engagement. The argument that their democratic theories are highly complementary is further developed through an examination of their solutions to this critical failure, for these solutions reflect a sharing of important premises concerning the nature of power and freedom on the parts of Habermas and Arendt. A complementary reading of Arendt and Habermas also allows for a synthesis of their theories that results in a highly coherent picture of the form and processes of an ideal democratic forum. This synthesis of Habermas and Arendt, however, also suggests (or, at least, allows for the theorising of) the emergence of a new genus of political actor who is unlikely to engage in such a forum a genus hereafter referred to as homo spectaculorum.
This thesis, therefore, makes three related claims. The first, and most important, is that it is possible to read Arendt and Habermas together as highly compatible democratic theorists and that their analysis of contemporary political conditions presents a single position from which to view the critical failings of liberal democracies. The second claim is that synthesising Arendts and Habermass democratic theories enables the theorising of an ideal public space, along with the emergence of homo spectaculorum. The third, and final, claim made in this thesis is that the same conditions that lead to the emergence of homo spectaculorum can be understood to undermine the emancipatory potential otherwise proffered through critical public spaces.

Full textAbstract:
Jurgen Habermas is a second-generation social philosopher of the Frankfurt school, the birthplace of critical theory. He suggests that modernity is a project of substituting rationality for religion. In his analysis, such a succession is the result of a process of social evolution, in which each developmental stage has its basic concepts and modes of understanding subjective, objective, and social worlds. For him, the salient feature of rationality consists of differentiation between various validity claims of truth, truthfulness, and sincerity which are indistinguishable in religious language. The rationalization of religion, hence, progresses in terms of a differentiation between validity claims, a decentration of human understanding, the disenchantment of the world, and the linguistification of the sacred. Habermas proposes a universal pragmatics in which two modes of language use are separated: instrumental-strategic, and communicative. He thinks that the failure of the enlightenment movement to replace religion with reason stems from its preoccupation with instrumental reason and language use, dispensing with communicative rationality; and the remedy lies in communicative rationality.Critically analyzing Habermas' theory of communicative action, this study examines Habermas' basic idea of substituting communicative rationality for religion in the light of his critique of Max Weber and of instrumental reason. Ontological, epistemological, methodological, and conceptual presuppositions in his argument are discussed and evaluated.

Full textAbstract:
In a time of transitions, post-Rawlsian political philosophy is itself in transition, engaged in a methodological dispute regarding the relationship between political theory and changing social practices. This thesis enters this dispute through engaging with John Rawls’s philosophical project and the two leading but contrasting critiques of Rawls’s constructivist methodology. I first seek to rescue constructivism from G.A. Cohen’s critique of its fact-dependence, but secondly argue with Jürgen Habermas for a shift from constructivism to reconstructivism. Part I establishes a theoretical framework. I analyse competing paradigms of the relationship between normative principles and social practices and situate them in relation to the problem of self-grounding. This is the methodological problem of how, in accordance with a conception of freedom as autonomy, philosophy can find normative foundations within existing social practices. While Cohen rejects this problem in arguing for a choice between realism and utopianism, Rawls’s realistic utopianism and Habermas’s utopian realism are both driven by the problem of self-grounding. Part II defends Rawls’s constructivism against Cohen’s criticism of its restricted focus on the basic structure of society and fact-dependence. Part III analyses and critiques the development of Rawls’s project. It analyses Rawls’s concern with the problem of stability and critiques from a Habermasian perspective the approach to the problem of self-grounding this represents. Part IV argues that post-Rawlsian deliberative democrats who have sought to combine ideas from Rawls and Habermas also fail to adequately address this methodological problem. Part V engages with Habermas on his own terms. I first analyse Habermas’s reconstruction of the tension between facticity and validity in morality and politics. On this basis, I conclude that Habermas’s procedural reconstructivism allows him to more successfully address the problem of self-grounding than Rawls’s substantive constructivism, and assess the implications of this conclusion in theory and practice.

Full textAbstract:
E-business assimilation in Saudi Arabia becomes critical due to the overarching social issues that the stakeholders encounter. Grounded in Habermas‘ Critical Social Theory (CST), this study applies the theory of lifeworld and system to understand the relevance of the Islamic faith as well as the Arab culture in the conduct of businesses in Saudi Arabia, which in turn, would make e-business assimilation a success. This study seeks to contribute to the IS literature‘s lack of research in which the aim is to emphasise social factors as the main determinants of e-business assimilation. We point out that inherent to the other important factors (e.g., technological, organisational, and cultural), people‘s actions (emancipated or regulated) are most critical to realising business‘ innovation and growth through utilising e-business technology. The sample of the study was composed of 1071 SAP end-users from the three leading Saudi companies, namely, Saudi Aramco, Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), and Saudi Iron and Steel Company (Hadeed), an affiliate of SABIC. Also, seven consultants contributed their knowledge and expertise regarding e-business adoption, on which they have been working for many years. The necessary data were collected through two methods: (1) distributed survey questionnaire for the SAP end-users; and (2) face – to - face (semi-structured) interview for the consultants. The value of Habermas‘ theory of lifeworld and system is shown by the development of a business model that can be used to achieve e-business assimilation success in the context of Saudi Arabia because it has the ability to distinguish the actions in various social situations – whether the actions reflect emancipation or restriction of the actors‘ way of living; and consequently, whether the actors‘ way of living should remain as it is or should undergo necessary changes. The newly developed ―E-Business Assimilation Model‖ (EAM) includes as its constructs the most important factors relevant to e-business success as well as the concepts of lifeworld and system: that is, all factors are subject to be ―filtered‖ through both the lifeworld and the system constructs. Through EAM, it was found that it could be easy for the project team to execute an e-business project if they will give critical consideration II to the people‘s social and cultural beliefs, aspirations, perspectives and preferences. Understanding the people‘s social and cultural means allows the project team to customise the e-business systems to be installed, and to make sure that the new system really fits the organisational setting. For every challenging lifeworld and system situation, the top management can provide improved solutions to be applied. The findings show how SAP implementation in the selected companies was affected by social factors such as age and gender; cultural factors such as religion; organisational factors such as performance motivating, management support and consultancy; and technological factors. The companies‘ change management programmes had enabled resolution of problems by the adoption of measures suited to each company‘s holistic characteristics and needs. Evidence of system-lifeworld interactions was demonstrated in each of these cases. Saudi society was shown to be strongly lifeworld oriented, such that ‗system‘ comes into conflict with a member of lifeworld and there are some lifeworld elements (such as gender roles and constraints) that system cannot change but must work within. The findings demonstrate the value of a system – lifeworld perspective in analysing factors influencing a change such as e-business assimilation and result in development of an elaborated model for holistic analysis of pertinent factors.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROCom a modernidade em crise, a crítica aos ideais iluministas e até da noção tradicional da razão em cheque, passou-se a buscar uma melhor compreensão da realidade, como alternativa para suprir um crescente descontentamento social em função do distanciamento entre as decisões administrativas, incluindo as judiciais, e os efetivos anseios dos cidadãos. Dentre as propostas que aliam o novo ideal democrático ao contexto do mundo da vida, o filósofo alemão Jürgen Habermas propõe uma mudança de paradigma da Razão através de uma lógica dialógica, transferindo a noção da Razão Prática para um espectro procedimental, usando como ferramenta indispensável o agir comunicativo, o discurso e o consenso entre as partes interessadas; além disso, promove uma reconstrução do direito e do Estado, com a superação dos modelos teóricos existentes – liberal e republicano – e com a formatação de um Estado efetivamente democrático, posto que viabiliza a participação dos concernidos na criação dos direitos. Em outras palavras, Habermas aposta no sucesso processo de interação comunicativa, que se efetiva por meio de um acordo discutido, debatido e refletido em função dos motivos apresentados pelos interessados. Diante dessa linha habermasiana que envolve a atuação efetiva dos cidadãos e das instituições da sociedade civil, além do próprio Estado, no processo de formulação normativa e decisória surge, para alguns, a ideia da inaplicabilidade dessa teoria por entenderem que, em função da realidade brasileira, principalmente em relação ao déficit educacional da população, essa ideia ficaria prejudicada. O Direito Coletivo do Trabalho, como ramificação de nosso sistema jurídico, promove a derrocada dessa premissa de inaplicabilidade da proposta de Habermas que adota o agir comunicativo como instrumento para alcance do entendimento, do consenso dos interessados, promovendo, assim, uma harmônica relação entre a validade e faticidade da norma. Importante ainda ressaltar a convivência dos interesses individuais e dos coletivos, não havendo prevalência da simples vontade da maioria, mas sim da vontade melhor justificada dentro do processo dialógico, ocorrendo a preservação das garantias e direitos individuais fundamentais.
With modernity in crisis, criticizes the Enlightenment ideals and even the traditional notion of reason in check, began to seek a better understanding of reality, as an alternative to supply a growing social discontent due to the distance between the adminstrative decisions, including judicial, and actual desires of citizens. Among the proposals that combine the new democratic ideal context of the living world, the German philosopher Jurgen Habermas proposes a paradigm shift of Reason through a dialogical logic, transferring the notion of Practical Reason for a procedural spectrum, using as the indispensable tool communicative action, discourse and consensus among stakeholders; Moreover, it promotes a reconstruction of law and state, with the overcoming of the existing theoretical models - liberal and republican - and the formatting of a democratic state effectively, since it enables the participation of concerned in the creation of rights. In other words, Habermas betting on the success of the process, which is effective communicative interaction through an agreement discussed, debated and reflected on the basis of the reasons given by those concerned. Given this Habermasian line that involves the effective participation of citizens and civil society institutions, and the state itself, the formulation of rules and decision-making process arises, for some, the idea of this theory inapplicable because they understand that, according to the Brazilian reality mainly in relation to the educational deficit of the population, this idea would be impaired. The Collective Labour Law, as a branch of our legal system, promotes the overthrow of this premise inapplicability of proposed which adopts Habermas communicative action as an instrument to reach understanding, consensus of stakeholders, thus promoting a harmonious relationship between the validity and facticity of the norm. Important to highlight the coexistence of individual and collective interests, with no prevalence of simple will of the majority, but the best justified within the dialogical process will occur and guarantees the preservation of fundamental individual rights.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of community is highly problematic in the German context. ‘Gemeinschaft’ plays only a minor role in post-1945 philosophical writing, arguably as a result of the abuse of the concept by the National Socialists (‘Volksgemeinschaft’). Two of the major contemporary social philosophies in the German language, those of Jürgen Habermas and Niklas Luhmann, are deeply critical of ‘community’. Habermas rejects ‘community’ that has not been purified by a rational filter (as opposed to what he conceives of as the ideal ‘Kommunikationsgemeinschaft’). Luhmann rejects the concept outright, arguing that it is simply ‘alteuropäisch’ (i.e. based on out-of-date philosophical assumptions), and that it has no place in the description of modern society. In contrast to these prominent dismissive positions, I argue that the concept of community is an underrated one. First, Habermas relies more heavily on the concept of community than his focus on the ‘Lebenswelt’ makes us believe. I characterise his conception as a ‘transformation’ of systems theory, because his social philosophy partly adopts systems theory, while complementing it with the aspect of ‘community’. Second, I argue that contemporary cultural theoreticians (for example, Peter Sloterdijk) take systems theory as a starting point for developing ultimately communitarian social philosophies. The concept of community proves crucial as supplementation and balancing of systems-theoretical elements in contemporary thinking. Once this transformative role is recognised, a purely historical treatment of the concept of community – one which, as in Luhmann’s systems theory, sees no place for it in present or future theory – begins to look premature.

O presente trabalho tem por objeto a análise das contribuições
apresentadas pela teoria do discurso de Jurgen Habermas à discussão sobre a

Nessa perspectiva, as democracias contemporâneas passam a ter como desafio a
garantia de representação e participação das minorias. Por isso, a identidade e os
vínculos associativos nas sociedades pós-convencionais são influenciados pelas
diversas formas de interação. Sob o paradigma da intersubjetividade, Habermas
propõe uma fundamentação procedimental dos direitos fundamentais. Pretende-se
por meio da idéia de democracia deliberativa e de políticas de reconhecimento
reconstruir os argumentos de Habermas acerca da coesão interna entre Estado de
Direito e Democracia.This paper is aimed to analyses the contribution presented by the Haberma’s discourse theory and its point over the identity formations in a deliberative and public space. It’s intended to analyses the possibility of a consensus among multicultural differences in our society. From this perspective, the current democracy is happen to be challenged to guaranty the representation and participation of the minority groups. Thus, the identity and the associative links in a post conventional society are influenced by many forms of interaction. Under the intersubjectivity paradigm, Habermas proposes a procedural foundation of fundamental rights. It’s intended through a deliberative idea and political acknowledgment rebuilt Habermas’s points over the inner cohesion between State Law and Democracy.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis stresses the centrality today of synthetical sociological theories, such as those of Habermas, Giddens and Alexander, but criticises them for neglecting the problem of collective subjectivity. The failure to consider this topic stems from deep problems in the history of sociology. Emerging from the social thinking of the Enlightenment and the Counter-Enlightenment, sociology has been keen on perceiving social life in the mould of a polarisation between active individuals and passive societies or, more generally, social systems or structures. Although the dialectics between subject and object plus the notion of interaction have allowed for bridges between those two poles, a crucial idea has not been receiving enough attention. Marx - with the concept of social class - and Parsons - with the concept of collective actor - produced two important departures from the presuppositional universe of the Enlightenment. But their elaboration does not suffice and, more regrettably however, those synthetical theories have not acknowledged and worked on the problems and concepts Marx and Parsons highlighted. The concept of collective subjectivity is, therefore, introduced to resume their insights and connect them to the issues and formulations put forward in synthetical theories. A critique of the philosophy of the subject, aiming at its decentring, is moreover pursued, for Marx and Parsons still embraced some of its main tenets. The concept of collective causality holds centre stage for the definition of collective subjectivity. Alongside collective causality, interaction, dialectics, levels of (de)centring, the syllogism of the general, the particular and the individual, plus multidimensionality, furnish the categorial axis for the development of the thesis. Concerned with general theoretical questions, this study makes, however, reference to "middle range" theories, in order to develop, ground its propositions and suggest ways in which its concepts may be useful in more empirically oriented research.

Feminist theory is a vast area of discourse and, while the differences between the many tendencies are extremely interesting, it is beyond the scope of this thesis to engage in such an inquiry. I have chosen to conduct a critique of Habermas's theory of communicative action from a perspective informed for the most part by postmodern/poststructural feminism. I hope that my reasons for working within such a framework will become evident in the following chapters but, in my view, a postmodern/poststructural feminist perspective sharpens the critique of Habermas's theory precisely because it stands in such contrast to it.
For the purposes of this thesis, my critique will focus upon Habermas's most recent work - The Theory of Communicative Action, Volume I: Reason and the Rationalization of Society (1984), and Volume II: The Critique of Functionalist Reason (1987). Other works by Habermas will not be specifically addressed although references will be made to them as necessary to clarify his positions on various issues.Arts, Faculty of

Com esse propósito, a atenção está voltada para o segundo volume dessa obra, em especial para o papel de Talcott Parsons e sua teoria de sistemas, a sociologia de Émile Durkheim que faculta a interação por meio da linguagem e seu entrelaçamento com Habermas por mais de uma via, as discussões metodológicas com Popper e a disputa com o positivismo, bem como a presença da teoria crítica e seus personagens diversos.The aim of this work is to track the size of specific influences that shaped Jürgen Habermas in the construction of the Theory of Communicative Action. In his major work, the habermasion intention was to harmonize a wide range of authors and theories that treated in their particularity would be able to converge to an emancipatory project made possible by a rationality of communicative content. For this purpose, the attention is focused on the second volume of this work, especially on the role of Talcott Parsons and his systems theory, on the sociology of Émile Durkheim that provides interaction through language and its relationship with Habermas through several ways, on the methodological discussions with Popper and the dispute with positivism, and on the presence of critical theory and its many characters.

Full textAbstract:
Nous proposons dans cette thèse une approche critique de la philosophie politique de Jürgen Habermas, qui vise à interroger la conception du discours sur laquelle elle se fonde. De ses premiers textes sur «l’espace public» à la théorie politique et du droit qu’élabore Droit et démocratie, Habermas approfondit l’intuition selon laquelle c’est à travers une certaine pratique du discours argumenté que se forment les espaces de communication, de délibération, et de décision, sans la vitalité desquels la démocratie ne saurait être «radicale». Il convient dès lors de reconstruire cette théorie du discours qui sous-tend sa pensée politique, aux différents niveaux où elle est opératoire : la pratique du langage ordinaire qui est la nôtre lorsque nous communiquons dans la vie de tous les jours ; celle que nous mettons en œuvre en tant que sujets politiques lorsque nous revendiquons des droits dans l’espace public ; celle enfin qui nous permet d’argumenter selon un point de vue moral lorsqu’il s’agit de déterminer les principes de justice. Nous défendons la thèse selon laquelle les normes fondamentales du discours, qu’Habermas établit à un niveau quasi transcendantal, doivent être reconduites à une hétéronomie qui est celle des conditions matérielles du discours. La philosophie sociale d’inspiration matérialiste qu’Horkheimer s’emploie à construire dans les années 1930 ouvre la voie d’une telle analyse. Nous reconstituons à cet effet le débat interne à l’École de Francfort sur la question de savoir comment le matérialisme critique de Marx doit être interprétéIn this dissertation I offer a critical examination of Jurgen Habermas’s political philosophy while questioning the conception of discourse which it is grounded in. From his first texts on the “public space” to the legal and political theory elaborated in Law and Democracy, Habermas explores the intuition that it is through a certain practice of argumentative discourse that spaces of communication, deliberation and decision are formed, the vitality of which is crucial to a truly “radical” democracy. The theory of discourse underpinning his political thought must hence be reconstructed at the different levels it operates on, including the practice of ordinary language through which we communicate in everyday life, the discourse we apply as political subjects when we claim rights in the public space, and the discourse which enables us to form arguments from a moral point of view when principles of justice need to be determined. My thesis supports the idea that fundamental norms of discourse, which Habermas establishes on a quasi-transcendental level, must be confronted to the heteronomy of material conditions of discourse. The materialist-derived philosophy which Horkheimer strove to reconstruct in the 1930s paves the way for this analysis. I therefore reconstitute the debate within the Frankfurt School on the question of how Marx’s historical materialism should be interpreted

Full textAbstract:
What does emancipation mean today? In political theory, the idea of emancipation has typically been understood as a process of rationalization involving the promotion of human rights or the historical overcoming of capitalism. However, in contemporary social criticism the earlier antagonism between liberalism and Marxism has largely been replaced by the conflict between Enlightenment thinking and Enlightenment critique. The tension between Enlightenment philosophy and Enlightenment skepticism can be taken as emblematic of the two main tendencies within contemporary critical thought. However, a similar ambivalence can be found in the classical critical theory of the so-called Frankfurt School. Given that we have to distinguish between two types of critical theoretical thought, is it even possible to answer the question about emancipation in an unambiguous way? The overall aim of this study is to examine the meaning of emancipation in contemporary critical thought. More specifically, the principal aim is to demonstrate that Jürgen Habermas’s critical theory can be understood as an attempt to overcome the opposition between the early and the late Frankfurt School in order subsequently to evaluate this attempt and thereby judge whether Habermas’s approach can serve as a key for combining the concepts of emancipation corresponding to these two types of critique. My main objection to Habermas’s reformulation of critical theory is that it is characterized by a lack of emancipatory potential and a lack of critical force. In trying to pave the way for an alternative approach, my strategy for accommodating the tensions between the two models of critical theory is to show that emancipation can be viewed as a process involving three disparate yet interconnected stages: an initial break in the continuity of history; a collective political struggle in order to realize the utopian vision thereby opened up; and, a possible understanding among the participants in a discourse.

Full textAbstract:
Les questions d’adaptabilité de la démocratie occidentale dans le contexte chinois ont toujours été une préoccupation importante. Cette recherche vise à étudier l’adaptabilité de la démocratie délibérative dans le contexte de la chine en termes de perspective normative. Tout d’abord, on s’est concentré sur la Théorie de discussion de droit et démocratie de Habermas, parce que c’est une des théories normatives de délibération démocratique les plus discutées en Chine aujourd’hui. Compte-tenu de la normativité et de l’idéalité de la théorie de Habermas, la théorie du discours des relations de pouvoir de Foucault est introduite pour illustrer la tension entre différentes théories de discours occidentaux. Puis, afin d’enquêter sur les adaptabilités de ces deux théories du discours dans le contexte chinois et d’équilibrer la tension entre les deux, un autre concept normatif, la rationalité confucéenne, est attirée sur des sources culturelles traditionnelles chinoises. En conséquence, trois dimensions de la théorie du discours, ainsi que les relations entre eux, sont présentés. Certaines descriptions empiriques sur les faits de la Chine historique et politique sont également nécessaires d’utilisation pour expliquer, compléter ou interroger ce cadre théorique. Deux perspectives de tension sont toujours critiques dans toute la recherche : la tension entre universalité et particularité et la tension entre les théories normatives et des faits socio-politiques. Grâce à l’approche des études de texte, ainsi que des études de conception et d’études empirique comme suppléments, la recherche est menée comme suit. Le premier chapitre traite de la tension entre la théorie du discours du droit et de la démocratie de Habermas et les faits sociaux. Le chapitre 2 analyse la tension entre la théorie du discours de Habermas et la théorie du discours de Foucault et plaide en faveur de la remise en question des problèmes de tension. Le troisième chapitre tente de rechercher les ressources dans les cultures politiques traditionnelles chinoises et de proposer une autre théorie normative de discours, la théorie du discours de la rationalité confucéenne, pour équilibrer la tension entre les deux précédentes théories normatives de discours. On fait valoir que le type idéal de rationalité confucéenne (un type normatif de rationalité de valeur) peut être utilisé comme un pont de communication entre les deux théories du discours opposées. Le chapitre 4, par des descriptions empiriques sur l’espace publique et les discussions politiques/juridiques dans la société traditionnelles chinoise, explique la théorie normative proposée au chapitre 3 et tente de réexaminer et de redéfinir les notions d’« espace publique » dans le contexte de la Chine traditionnelle. Enfin, le chapitre 5 se concentre sur les descriptions des discussions politiques et juridiques dans l’espace publique des nouveaux médias de la Chine d’aujourd’hui. C’est une réponse empirique pour toutes les études normatives antérieures, et aussi une enquête sur la tension entre les théories normatives et les expériences sociales. Je soutiens que, en raison des différentes structures cognitives et les différents modes de pensée dans les différentes cultures, il devrait y avoir différents paradigmes normatifs de la démocratie du discours dans les différents contextes culturels, et que la normativité et la réalité sont les deux faces d’une même médaille. Les théories normatives du discours sont des guides pour les pratiques de la démocratie délibérative et les pratiques de la démocratie délibératives peuvent vérifier, compléter ou améliorer les théories normatives du discours. Outre la démonstration des dimensions plurielles de théories du discours, une autre intention pratique de cette thèse est de plaider pour une approche de la démocratie délibérative, qui serait à la fois chinoise et moderneThe adaptability issues of Western democracy in the context of China have always been an important academic concern. This research was intended to study the adaptability of deliberative democracy in the Chinese context in terms of a normative perspective. At the beginning, this research focused on Habermas‘s Discourse Theory of Law and Democracy, because it is one of the most discussed normative deliberative democratic theories in China today. Taking into consideration the normativity and ideality of Habermas‘s theory, Foucault‘s discourse theory of power relations is then introduced to illustrate the tensions between different Western discourse theories. In order to investigate the adaptabilities of these two discourse theories in the Chinese context, and to balance the tension between them, another normative concept, namely the Confucian Rationality, is then drawn upon from traditional Chinese cultural sources. Accordingly, these three dimensions of discourse theory, as well as the relations between them, are presented. The employment of some empirical descriptions of certain Chinese historical-political facts is also necessary to explain, to supplement, or to question this theoretic framework. Two tension perspectives are critical throughout the research: the tension between universality and particularity, and the tension between normative theories and social-political facts.Through the approaches of textual studies, aided by conceptual and empirical studies as complements, the research is conducted as following: Chapter 1 discusses the tension between Habermas‘s normative discourse theory of law and democracy and social facts; Chapter 2 analyzes the tension between Habermas‘s discourse theory and Foucault‘s discourse theory of power relations, and proposes to rethink the tension problems. Chapter 3 tries to search for the resources in traditional Chinese political cultures, and to put forward another normative discourse theory- the discourse theory of Confucian rationality- to balance the tension between the foregoing two normative discourse theories. It is argued that an ideal type of Confucian rationality (a kind of normative value rationality) can be used as a bridge between the two opposite discourse theories. Chapter 4 further explains the normative theory that was proposed in Chapter 3, and tries to reexamine and redefine the concepts of ―Public Sphere‖ and ―Deliberative Politics in the context of traditional China through empirical descriptions on the ―Public Sphere‖ and political/legal discussions in traditional Chinese society. Finally,Chapter 5 focuses on the descriptions of the political and legal discussions in China's new media public sphere today. It is an empirical response to all the normative studies mentioned above, and at the same time an investigation on the tensions between the normative theories and the social experiences. We argue that, because of the different cognitive structures and diverse modes of thinking in specific cultures, there should be different normative paradigms of discourse democracy in corresponding cultural contexts. Normativity and reality are the two sides of the same coin. Normative discourse theories serve as the guidance for the practices of deliberative democracy, which can, in its turn, verify, supplement, improve and challenge the normative discourse theories. Apart from demonstrating of the multiple dimensions of discourse theories, another practical intent of this thesis is to promote an approach leading to discourse democracy that would combine elements of both Chinese and modern, consistent with both the fundamental predilections of Chinese civilization, and the practical needs of a modern China

The goal of this dissertation is to discuss the two main theoretical sources that Jürgen Habermas uses in his essay "Work and Interaction": the Hegel s philosophy of Spirit of Jena period (1804-1806) and the Marx s theory, especially the labor category. In this sense, beyond criticism resumption of primary sources, the study also presents alternative perspectives to those assumed by Habermas in his youth period, mainly in the 1960s. Therefore, a critique of young Habermas' theory becomes possible, from the central concept of the public sphere to the reasoning of cultural formation in the private sphere, this being the focal point of the essay in question.
O objetivo da presente dissertação é discutir as duas principais fontes teóricas que Jürgen Habermas utiliza em seu ensaio Trabalho e Interação : a filosofia do Espírito hegeliana do período de Iena (1804-1806) e a teoria marxiana, especialmente a categoria trabalho. Nesse sentido, além da retomada crítica das fontes primárias, o estudo também apresenta perspectivas alternativas em relação àquelas assumidas por Habermas em seu período de juventude, principalmente na década de 1960. Assim, viabiliza-se uma crítica à teoria habermasiana de juventude, desde o conceito central de esfera pública à fundamentação da formação cultural na esfera privada, esta sendo fundamentada no ensaio em questão.

Resumo: O objetivo do trabalho foi estudar a reconstrução do conceito de autonomia privada na obra Direito e Democracia, de Jürgen Habermas. Tal estudo foi cumprido em atenção ao projeto mais amplo do autor de rearticular a Teoria Crítica da sociedade segundo os termos intersubjetivos de sua teoria do discurso, o que nos levou a investigar os diferentes momentos do programa reconstrutivo desenvolvido na obra e a maneira particular com que o conceito se insere em cada um deles. Assumimos, por hipótese, que a estrutura do empreendimento crítico que compõe Direito e Democracia é composta por três momentos principais - a "reconstrução interna", a "reconstrução externa" e o cruzamento dessas duas perspectivas possibilitado pela noção de "paradigma jurídico". Na reconstrução interna, a autonomia privada é caracterizada como a exigência normativa de iguais liberdades subjetivas de ação e reclamação a todos os membros de uma comunidade jurídica, assegurando-lhes a liberdade de arbítrio e a liberdade ética em contornos definidos democraticamente. Na reconstrução externa, os direitos que compõem a autonomia privada são considerados constitutivos de um domínio da vida social caracterizado por formas comunicativas de acesso reservado. Nesse âmbito da investigação, a "esfera privada" passa a ser considerada inscrita nos processos sociais de formação da vontade política em seus pontos mais distantes dos núcleos sistêmicos de tomada de decisão, atribuindo a ela uma posição germinal na identificação dos novos problemas sociais que compõem as esferas públicas informais. Por fim, no âmbito de discussão que envolve a disputa entre os paradigmas jurídicos, a saída dos impasses deixados pelos modelos liberal e do Estado social exigirá a procedimentalização da escolha sobre o sentido da igualdade de tratamento jurídico. Sob a ótica de um novo paradigma procedimental, a compreensão inicial da autonomia privada é retomada pelo autor e passa a incorporar demandas por igualdade material no postulado de "iguais liberdades subjetivas de ação". Ao final do percurso, a hipótese estrutural que possibilitou o desenvolvimento da tese mostra-se performativamente confirmada. Ela permite compreender as modificações por que passa o conceito de autonomia privada como um movimento progressivo de reconstrução composto por três momentos principais, bem como indicar transformações correlatas de outros conceitos-chave a ele vinculados, tais como "autonomia pública", "cooriginaridade" e a própria "tensão entre facticidade e validade"
Abstract: This work aims to study the concept of private autonomy in Jürgen Habermas' Between Facts and Norms. The study was made in regard to the author's larger project of rearticulating critical theory under the intersubjective turn of his discourse theory, which led us to investigate the different steps of the reconstructive program developed in this work and the particular way the concept is discussed in each of them. We assume, hypothetically, the structure of the book as composed of three main stages - the "internal reconstruction", the "external reconstruction" and the intersection of these former perspectives made possible by the notion of "legal paradigm". In domain of the internal reconstruction, private autonomy is characterized as the normative requirement of equal individual liberties to all members of the legal community, providing them the freedom of choice and ethical freedom in boundaries defined democratically. In the external reconstruction the private autonomy's rights are considered to constitute a domain of social life characterized by communication forms of restricted access. The "private sphere" is considered here enrolled in the social processes of political will formation in its most distant points of the systemic decision-making institutions. Finally, in the scope of discussion involving the dispute of legal paradigms, the response to the impasse left by the liberal and the welfare state models will require to procedimentalize the choice about the meaning of equal legal treatment. From the viewpoint of a new procedural paradigm, the initial understanding of private autonomy is revaluated by the author and incorporates demands of material equality in the assumption of "equal individual liberties of action." At the end of the course, the structural hypothesis which allowed the development of the thesis is shown performatively proven. It allows to understand the changes undergone by the concept of private autonomy as a progressive reconstructive movement consisted of three principal steps, and to indicate changes related to other key concepts linked to it such as "public autonomy", "cooriginarity" and the "tension between facts and norms"

Seguindo esse propósito, iniciaremos a pesquisa sobre o conceito de razão comunicativa como uma extensão da razão da Aufklärung, idealizada inicialmente por Kant, que por sua vez se concretizou como projeto da modernidade. A primeira geração da teoria crítica analisou o projeto kantiano como esgotado, condenado ao esquecimento. Porém, Habermas, herdeiro da teoria crítica, não compartilha dessa opinião e considera o projeto da Aufklärung, da razão como emancipação, um projeto inacabado.

Resumo: Esta pesquisa analisa os desdobramentos da noção de esfera pública em Jürgen Habermas e para isso procura apreender as críticas à Razão tecidas e consideradas por esse filósofo, posto elas constituírem o subsídio teórico mais relevante na elaboração gradativa que ele empreendeu daquela noção e de seus decorrentes desdobramentos. Seguindo esse propósito, iniciaremos a pesquisa sobre o conceito de razão comunicativa como uma extensão da razão da Aufklärung, idealizada inicialmente por Kant, que por sua vez se concretizou como projeto da modernidade. A primeira geração da teoria crítica analisou o projeto kantiano como esgotado, condenado ao esquecimento. Porém, Habermas, herdeiro da teoria crítica, não compartilha dessa opinião e considera o projeto da Aufklärung, da razão como emancipação, um projeto inacabado. Na condição de oferecer uma nova leitura, Habermas acaba por trilhar várias críticas tecidas pelos primeiros frankfurtianos ao pensamento da Aufklärung. Desse modo, num primeiro momento analisaremos os elementos oferecidos pela primeira geração do Instituto de Pesquisa, que servirão à crítica de Habermas, elementos esses relacionados a noção de razão e de opinião pública.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation reports on an exploration of school leadership from the perspective of how school leaders bring multiple cognitive interests to bear in their leadership practice. By analysing the discourse of practising school leaders this study has enabled insight to be gained into school leaders’ reflections-on-actions in given leadership situations. On the basis of the analysis of discourse it is concluded in this study that school based leadership, and school leadership preparation, can be enhanced when illuminated through a cognitive perspective grounded in Habermas’ theory of knowledge-constitutive interests (1971). Recommendations are given in this dissertation for the development of an approach to school leadership preparation built on a cognitive interests framework. Based in qualitative research techniques the main evidentiary material was elicited by the use of semi-structured interviews, and the collection of narratives, and was analysed with a variation of Membership Categorisation Analysis (Sacks, 1972).

Nesta tese analisam-se correntes da teoria política que fundamentam a condução das ações individuais na vida política e social na racionalidade. Nessa perspectiva, apresenta-se a disputa existente entre um conceito procedimental de justiça e um conceito de ética procedimental fundada na existência de uma comunidade cultural de valores. Discute-se a guinada teórica de Habermas que, ao passar do medium linguagem para o medium direito, traz um elemento novo a sua teoria, compreendendo que a judicialização nas sociedades pós-tradicionais forma um parâmetro dinâmico que orienta a ação individual em direção a laços solidários. Apresenta-se em seguida o debate liberalismo versus comunitarismo, apresentando os ganhos analíticos trazidos pelas reflexões hermenêuticas de Charles Taylor sobre a formação dos valores éticos que guiam a formação da modernidade. Mas de Taylor se distancia por tomá-lo como excessivamente culturalista em seu conceito antropológico sobre a natureza humana. Pela análise epistemológica da metodologia de estudo de caso normativo, investiga-se a interpretação de Jessé Souza sobre o processo de naturalização das desigualdades no Brasil. O objetivo é problematizar sua interpretação bourdieusiana das relações sociais por tomá-las demasiadamente presas a uma racionalidade instrumental. Como alternativa analítica, apresentam-se as contribuições de Axel Honneth e, como ele, sustenta-se que os fundamentos de interação e emancipação social se dão com relações de reconhecimento recíproco estruturadas sobre uma ética formal.In this dissertation, I analyze political theory currents which claim that political and social individual actions rely on individuals rationality. From this perspective, I present the dispute between a proceduralist understanding of justice and a concept of proceduralist ethics which rests upon the existence of cultural community of values. Then, I discuss Habermas theoretical shift in his moving from taking language as a means of social interaction to taking law as such means, and show that the shift brings up a new aspect of his theory, since he understands that judicialization in post-traditional societies forms a dynamic parameter which orients individual actions towards solidary bonds. Next, I present the debate between liberalism and communitarianism, highlighting the analytical strengths of Charles Taylors hermeneutical thoughts on the formation of ethical values that guide the formation of modernity. I reject Taylors excessive culturalism when he builds his anthropological understanding of human nature. Through the epistemological analysis of the normative case study methodology I investigate Jessé Souzas interpretation on how inequalities have gone through a naturalization process in Brazil. My objective is to problematize his Bourdieuian interpretation of social relationships, considering that it remains too tied to an instrumental rationality. I claim that Axel Honneths work remains an analytical alternative to such Bourdieuian interpretation, and claim that the base for social interaction and emancipation rely on reciprocal recognition relations structured on formal ethics.

Full textAbstract:
There is a consensus today that we have witnessed the end of postmodernism in both fiction and theory. Due to contemporary fiction’s break with postmodernism being recent, little research has been done to outline the parameters of what exactly this break entails and its relationship to theory and current socio-political issues. The aim of this thesis is to attempt to differentiate between postmodernist fiction and contemporary fiction that was produced from the late 90’s up to today, outline its main characteristics and suggest alternative ways theory may be used to critically analyse fiction. We will be looking at how Habermas’s, Agamben’s, Žižek’s and Badiou’s theories, as well as, a reconsideration of some of Derrida’s and Baudrillard’s theories, can help elucidate certain aspects of contemporary fiction and vice versa. Some of the novelists that will be considered in this discussion are Paul Auster, Don DeLillo, Douglas Coupland, J G Ballard, Julian Barnes, Jonathan Coe and Michel Houellebecq due to their close association with postmodernism and its aftermath. The thesis is divided thematically in five chapters. In the first chapter we will be discussing the impact of 9/11 on contemporary fiction in relation to Derrida’s, Habermas’s, Baudrillard’s and Žižek’s responses to the attacks. The second chapter is concerned with notions of reality and its representations in contemporary fiction. It will be discussed how they differ from Baudrillard’s conceptualisation of hyperreality during postmodernity in light of Badiou’s and Žižek’s theory mainly. The realist/antirealist debate will also be addressed. The third chapter is a consideration of notions of subjectivity in both contemporary theory and fiction and how they may be said to differ from playful, schizophrenic representations of the subject during postmodernity. The fourth chapter is concerned with the return of the political in both theory and fiction after the supposed apoliticality of the postmodern novel, which we will also be addressing. The final chapter is an investigation of the re-emergence of the religious in contemporary culture, including the novel, which proves that the death of meta-narratives may not have been that final after all.

Media & CommunicationPh.D.
Political legitimacy is a fundamental problem in the modern state. According to Habermas (1973), current legitimation methods are losing the sufficiency needed to support political systems and decisions. In response, Habermas (1987) developed the theory of communicative action as a new method for establishing political legitimacy. The current study applies the communicative action theory to Kuwait’s current political transformation. This study addresses the nature of the foundation of Kuwait, the regional situation, the internal political context, and the current economic challenges. The specific political transformation examined in this study is a national development project known as Vision of 2035 supported by the Amir as the head of the state. The project aims to develop a third of Kuwait’s land and five islands as special economic zones (SEZ). The project requires new legislation that would fundamentally change the political and economic identity of the country. The study applies the communicative action theory in order to achieve a mutual understanding between different groups in Kuwait regarding the project’s features and the legislation required to achieve them.

Previous issue date: 2015-11-30This research explores the mediator's role conflict to the Habermas´s Theory of communicative action. The matter has gained repercussion with justice access movement in Brazil. The Right structured by the laws, by theory and by an established practice procedurally welcomed the mediation. However, this is a practice that runs the formalities of the legal context. The opportunity for this research is the complex task of conducting a dialogue to transform a conflict situation without the support of the coercive and decision-making power of a sentence. Researchers and activist urges for the initiative of mediation in face of the need for adjustments of the instrumental form and technique that has traditionally been established by law, but that does not meet the specific demands of mediation. The proposal is to institute the construction of the mediator's role in the field of communication, to experience in practice the benefits offered by the communicative action. Our goal is to review how the legal sciences perceive the role of mediator. Habermasians comprehend that the mediator works is to build a communicative situation; therefore the purpose is that it should be regarded as an interpreter of the conflicting parties. Elected as corpus three foreign models, the North American, Italian and Argentinian, to deconstruct them in order to understand its structures and treat critically its constituent aspects. The mediator´s is the dialogue´s leading figure, using an explanatory speech to clarify the points that are causing the conflict. He does not aim to solve the conflict, but it is willing to provide the mediated sides another chance to talk. Since the bridge between theory and praxis is established with the help of Eric Landowski´s semiotic regimes of interaction. Studies of the French semiotician and sociologist indicate that mediation relies on the human ability to aesthesia, the actant´s ability to perceive each other, for both to engaee each other in a collaborative construction. The conflict, with the contribution of Axel Honneth has revealed something to social own latent social interaction. Therefore it is needed to address the risks inherent in mediation. This exercise is done under three perspectives: the risks from the perspective of relationship, the mediator himself and the mediated. The research consists of three stages: in the first chapter, we treat the mediation under the historical and rational aspects, in parallel with the theory of modernity; in the second, we treat the theory of communicative action and the concept of access to justice; in the third, we rethink the role of mediator
Esta pesquisa examina o papel do mediador de conflitos à luz da Teoria do agir comunicativo de Habermas. Este tema ganhou repercussão com o movimento de acesso à justiça no Brasil. O direito muito bem estruturado pelas leis, pela teoria e por uma práxis procedimentalmente estabelecida acolheu a mediação. Porém, esta é uma prática que foge das formalidades do contexto jurídico. O ensejo para esta pesquisa é a complexa tarefa de conduzir um diálogo para transformar uma situação conflituosa sem o respaldo do poder coercitivo e decisório de uma sentença. Esta iniciativa urge para os pesquisadores e para os militantes da mediação em face da necessidade de adequações da forma instrumental e técnica que tradicionalmente foi estabelecida pelo direito, mas que não atende às demandas específicas da mediação. A proposta de fundar a construção do papel do mediador no campo da comunicação é experimentar na prática os benefícios propostos pelo agir comunicativo. Nosso objetivo é rever o modo como as ciências jurídicas percebem a função do mediador. Sob uma compreensão habermasiana, o mediador age para construir uma situação comunicativa; assim, propomos que ele deva ser considerado um intérprete dos mediados. Elegemos como corpus três modelos estrangeiros, o norte-americano, o italiano e o argentino, para desconstrui-los de modo a compreender suas estruturas e tratar criticamente seus aspectos constitutivos. Ao mediador, cabe protagonizar um diálogo, usando um discurso explicativo que esclareça os pontos conflituosos. Ele não objetiva solucionar o conflito, ele se dispõe a propiciar aos mediados uma nova chance de conversa. A ponte entre a teoria e a práxis é estabelecida com a ajuda dos regimes semióticos de interação de Eric Landowski. Os estudos do francês sinalizam que mediar depende da habilidade humana de estesia, a capacidade de perceber-se no outro actante, de envolver-se mutuamente em uma construção colaborativa. O conflito, com o aporte de Axel Honneth revela-se como algo latente à própria interação social; portanto, é preciso tratar dos riscos inerentes à mediação. Esse exercício é feito por três perspectivas: os riscos sob o ângulo da relação estabelecida, do próprio mediador e dos mediados. A pesquisa é composta por três etapas: no primeiro capítulo, tratamos da mediação sob os aspectos históricos e racionais, em paralelo com a teoria da modernidade; no segundo, tratamos da teoria da ação comunicativa e do conceito de acesso à justiça; no terceiro, repensamos o papel do mediador

The main objective of this work is to show which is the guiding human interest of Knowledge. Habermas in his work Knowledge and Human Interest aims to analyze the prehistory of Modern Positivism in order to recover the possibility of a renewed Theory of Knowledge through the self-reflection of the Sciences discredited by positivism. The main thesis is that all knowledge has connection with an human interest that guides that knowledge at the theoretical level according to the natural sciences or at the practical level according to the cultural sciences. Habermas analyzes the connection between knowledge and human interest in order to support the claiming that the critique of knowledge is only possible as a theory of human society. The Freudian psychoanalysis is triggered by Habermas in order to justify from a theoretical point of view the connection between knowledge and human interest showing that the legitimation of individual neuroses has its connection with the social practices. What is behind the practices in the final analysis is the power that is exercised by the wrong communication, the right interpretation of wrong communication highlights the fundamental human interests of human species, namely: the interest for emancipation.
O objetivo primordial desta dissertação é mostrar qual é o interesse orientador do conhecimento. Habermas, em sua obra Conhecimento e Interesse, pôde analisar a pré-história do positivismo moderno com o objetivo de recuperar a possibilidade de uma renovada teoria do conhecimento através da autorreflexão das ciências, recusar a reflexão isto é o positivismo. A tese principal é a de que todo conhecimento tem conexão com um interesse que o orienta, seja no âmbito teórico, de acordo com as ciências da natureza, seja no âmbito prático, de acordo com as ciências culturais. Habermas pôde analisar a conexão entre conhecimento e interesse com o propósito de apoiar a afirmação de que a crítica do conhecimento só é possível como teoria da sociedade. A psicanálise freudiana é acionada, por Habermas, com o propósito de fundamentar teoricamente a conexão entre conhecimento e interesse, evidenciando que as legitimações das neuroses individuais tem sua conexão com as legitimações societárias. O que está atrás das legitimações, em última analise, é o poder que se exerce pela comunicação deformada. A adequada interpretação desta comunicação deformada evidencia o interesse fundamental da espécie humana, a saber: o interesse pela emancipação.
