Description

Jürgen Habermas explores the foundations of moral consciousness and communicative action in this influential work. He develops his theory of discourse ethics, seeking to establish a moral point of view that can impartially judge normative claims. Habermas examines the relationship between communicative ethics and social action, drawing on research in social psychology to understand the origins of our basic moral intuitions. This book addresses complex issues at the heart of current debates in philosophy and social theory. By exploring the universal presuppositions of social interaction, Habermas aims to reconstruct a moral framework that can be applied across different societies and traditions.
