Habermas
German philosopher associated with the Frankfurt school. He has taught primarily at the Univ. of Frankfurt, and also formerly directed the Max Planck Institute in Starnberg (1971-80). In Theory of Communicative Action (1981), he argues that while instrumental reason (which starts from the assumption of a subject confronting an independent object that the subject seeks to understand in order to control) has dominated modern social thought, only communicative reason (which postulates a community of subjects engaged in communication for the purpose of universal emancipation) holds out the possibility of forging a truly democratic society.
