書籍簡介

在這本重要的書中，哈貝馬斯概述了形成他的現代社會批判理論基礎的觀點。該書由五篇連載的論文組成，共同界定了他的傳播理論的輪廓，以及他對社會變遷的實質性論述。什麼是普遍語用學?這是哈貝馬斯對基於言語行為分析的交際理論的*表述。

以下兩篇論文借鑑了科爾伯格和其他人的研究成果，對道德意識和規範結構進行了獨特的闡述。對這些問題進行了進一步的探討，為馬克思的歷史唯物史觀作為一種社會進化理論提供了廣泛的重構。最後一篇文章集中討論合法性問題以及現代國家所面臨的合法性問題。

對於今天關心社會和政治理論關鍵問題的人來説，這本書是必不可少的讀物。

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.
