 +==== 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.//
