It is the very practical requirements of welfare states to lift the plight that makes Habermas put forward the ideology of post-national constellation based on the theory of discourse and political communication. It's a simple combing under Habermas's overall framework of the post-national structure thought, in order to clarify the context of Habermas's thought in the course of study.This article starts from the analysis of the plight of the modern nation-states, by describing the challenges modern nation-states encounter and the plight of much-needed break, the maturity of social welfare state norms theory and the proposition and improvement of Habermas's theory of discourse and political communication. All of that is to explain the possibility and necessity to establish the Super nation-state society. The second part discusses in detail the establishment of system about Super nation-state society's theory, embodied in the critical transcendences beyond the traditional nation-states:the establishment of "soft power" system and the default picture of the world in the Super nation-state society. This is not only the requirements to put forward to establish a new Super nation-state society, also reflects the transcendences beyond the traditional nation-states. The third part is the core of the paper, based on the theory described the first two parts, point out the theoretical and practical significance that Habermas's theory has.
