The Theory of Communicative Action in Being Philosophy's View ——Another Illustration for Habermas' Theory of Communicative Action

Habermas' theory of communicative action, as a critical social theory, not only criticizes severe abuses of the modern western society, but puts forward a constructive project for it. Heidegger's Being philosophy, concerning the existence of human being, tries to open up the existence plight of human being in life world by depth analysis of Existence, and overcomes it ultimately with poetical language. Comparing with Heidegger's thinking way, Habermas' theory of communicative action may be regarded as being put forward by him while facing the communication in life world. Habermas uses the life world as realistic jumping-off of his theory of communicative action, and realizes the theory transformation from the paradigm of labor into the paradigm of communication with the communication-cored. He reconstructs communication reason as a normative force by way of carrying out an analysis of formal pragmatics for communication action, opens out validity norm hiding in communication activity rooted in the life world, and tries for normative settlement for communication problems.
