Rationality and communicative action

John F. Sitton

pp. 41-59

Abstrakt

Habermas agrees with Weber that the ultimate consequence of religious and cultural rationalization is that modern culture fragments into different value spheres following their own inner logics of elaboration. He also agrees that this particular rationalization of culture and society is responsible for widespread feelings that modern life has become confusing and oppressive. In our day this contributes to a number of reactions, from religious fundamentalism to "postmodern" suspicions of rationality itself.
