Talk About The Communicative And The Reconstructure Of Historical Materialism

As the important member of the west Marxism, the renowned representative person of the second generation of Frankfurt school , Habermas receives the critique theory tradition of the west Marxism and Frankfurt school ,taking the extremely broad field of vision and the great aspiration ,constructs the huge theory by associated the communicative action theory. The purpose of the huge theory is reconstructing the historical materialism. In his mode transitions from idealogical philosophy to linguistic philosophy and from objective rationality to interactive rationality are realized. He attempts to provide the normal society evaluation criterra for the"pathology"the modern society, and attempts to critical the modern society.What connections are there between his communicative action and the reconstruction of historical materialism? And what differences are there between his communicative action and Marx's intercourse thoughts? Whether or not Habermas achieves his theory goal by substituting Marx's historical materialism by his communicative action theory? Habermas'deeply recognization and rational analyzation to the modern west society provide us extremely enlightenments in order to us strengthen practical foundation of Marxism.The whole text is divided three parts. The first part: I analyse how the communicative action be born, what connotation does it contain, what philosophy reconsidering to it? Then I expounding the communicative must walk on the rationalization path if"the labor"should be substituted by communicative. The second part: The communicative rationality is the congelation of communicative. By critiquing and reconsidering the former rationality, I try to explain the implication, the special feature and the function of rescuing the rationality crisis of capitalism. The third part: Based on analyzing and grasping the theory of rationality of communicative action, I realized the essence of the theory of Habermas. I first clarify the intercourse thoughts of Marx's, and compare it with Habermas', then point out the fundamental distinguishes and differences, and I draw a conclusion that we should promote the developing of human being by viewing the problem from the intercourse practice angle.
