哈贝马斯重建批判理论的致思理路

哈贝马斯认为,早期法兰克福学派的批判理论具有规范基础不明确,以及坚持传统哲学的理性概念等方面的缺陷。虽然在上世纪40年代批判理论转向了工具理性批判,但这依然没能走出早期批判理论的困境。哈贝马斯通过哲学范式的转变,即从意识哲学范式转向交往哲学范式,从工具理性转向交往理性,建构了一种以交往理性为核心的交往理论,从而拯救了陷入困境的早期批判理论。

The Line of Reasoning for Habermas' reconstruction of Critical theory

In Harbermas’ opinion,the critical theory of the early Frankfurt School has defects of indefinite foundation of normativity,adherence to the idea of rationality of the traditional philosophy and etc.Although the critical theory turned to the critique of the instrumental rationality in 1940s,this did not help to get rid of the embarrassment of the early critical theory.Through the conversation of the philosophical paradigm,namely that from the philosophy of consciousness to that of communication,and that from the instrumental rationality to the communicative rationality,Harbermas constructed a theory of communication,which centers on the communicative rationality,and thereby saved the early critical theory out of trouble.
