+ | 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.// |
