. Intersubjectivity and Communicative Action (Neo-Kantianism and Postmodernism of J. Habermas)

Abstract

This article considers the Neo-Kantian and post-modernist implication of J. Habermas
philosophy. Special attention is drawn to the interactive aspects and dialectical foundations
of the formation of the most debated phenomena, such as communicative rationality,
intersubjectivity, discourse, consensus, lifeworld formation. The substantial limitations of
a public sphere for the genesis of communicative rationality, such as: deficit of legitimation,
colonization of a lifeworld, necessity of renormalization of cognitive-instrumental setting of
rationality towards a critical basis of a discourse are being researched.
