Jürgen Habermas, the theory of communicative action, the seeking agreementAbstract
While appreciating the role of the Enlightenment Jürgen Habermas also understands the difficulties of its primacy of rationality. Inadequacy of instrumental interpretation of rationality leads the German philosopher to the formulation of the theory of communicative action. In this theory the search for an agreement becomes the basis for an action; this theory replaces and complements the conception of the action formulated by Max Weber. Moreover, it is the language and more specifically the whole process of communication that reveals complicated social reality. The importance of these theoretical considerations is shown in bioethical reflection, mainly in regard to the eugenics.References
