JÜRGEN HABERMAS’ PHILOSOPHY OF COMMUNICATION
Abstract
Situating Habermas in the context of his early concerns in the field of communication by enumerating his first foundations picked up from Freud’s treatment of psychoanalytic relationship, helped him later on to formulate a theory for communication. It proceeds to give two basic notions that are central to his project, namely, ideal speech situation and communicative competence. Then we explore Habermas’ philosophy of communication through the presentation of his paradigm of communication along with the theory of communicative action, which is the crux of his philosophy of communication. Finally, a critical analysis of Habermas’ philosophy of communication is undertaken by enumerating the positive and the negative aspects. It ends by highlighting the innovative application of Habermas’ communication concepts to provide dynamism to the creative existence of the society.
