avnerus [Concluding Reflections: From Parsons via Weber to Marx]
@@ Line 134: / Line 134: @@
 In Volume II Habermas will develop a communicative theory of rationality, that decentralizes the focus from studies of consciousness and instrumental reason, to a rationality that is developed through communication, reaching understanding and agreement, and under the effect of steering media such as money and power.
+===== Volume two =====
+==== Concluding Reflections: From Parsons via Weber to Marx ====
+After analyzing society through new paradigms of system's theory, Habermas goes back to Weber's reflection on rationalization and the loss of freedom and meaning - moving from Weber's //purposive rationality// to //'action oriented to mutual understanding', 'symbolically
+structured lifeworld', and 'communicative rationality'//:
+//Then we could analyze the rationali-
+zation of action systems not only under the cognitive-instrumental aspect, but by bringing in moral-practical and aesthetic-expressive aspects
+across the whole spectrum.//
