论哈贝马斯的交往理性观及其当代价值

On Habermas’ View of CommunicationRationality and Its Contemporary Value

尤尔根·哈贝马斯是西方马克思主义法兰克福学派的代表人物之一。交往理性是哈贝马斯在批判工具理性的基础上所提出的概念,并力图用交往理性取代工具理性。在交往理性观中,交往者各方都是交往活动中的主体,他们以语言为媒介,通过真诚的对话交往,达到相互理解。交往理性观具有重要的价值意蕴,在理论方面批判了工具理性,推动了社会科学的发展,在实践方面深刻影响了教育等领域的改革与发展。

Jurgen Habermas is one of the representatives of the Frankfurt School of Western Marxism. Com-municative reason is a concept put forward by Habermas on the basis of criticizing instrumental reason, and he tries to replace instrumental reason with communicative reason. In the view of communication rationality, all parties of the communicators are the subjects in the communication activities. They use language as the medium to achieve mutual understanding through sincere dia-logue and communication. The concept of communicative rationality has important value implica-tions. It criticizes instrumental rationality in theory, promotes the development of social sciences, and profoundly affects the reform and development of education and other fields in practice.
