Ética do discurso e racionalidade comunicativa são temas fortes na filosofia de Habermas. Ambos se voltam para o estudo dos efeitos ilocucionários que os atos de fala causam na atividade comunicativa dos falantes. A presença do sujeito, no sentido da modernidade, tornou-se problema na construção da argumentação a favor da ação comunicativa, e isso se tornou motivo de discordâncias quanto à proposta de fundamentação pela pragmática formal que Habermas propõe para afirmar a sua teoria da ação comunicativa. Neste artigo, discutimos, particularmente, o entrelaçamento entre ética e técnica com sujeito, tríade que garante o sucesso da ação comunicativa. Dado que a ética do discurso resulta em decisões coletivas dos concernidos, perguntamos até que ponto isto é possível e necessário, e vinculamos esta discussão com o tema da ética e da responsabilidade no contexto de justificações e argumentações a favor de uma fundamentação possível da ética contemporânea.Abstract: Discourse ethics and rationality are strong themes through out all Habermasian philosophy. Both themes come close to the study of the illocutionary effects that the speech acts bring to the communicative action. The presence of the modern subject constitutes mistake in the construction of the argumentative process towards communicative action, and this is mistaken by many criticists. This is motive of disagree in relation to the foundation way through the universal pragmatic that Habermas proposes to state your theory of communicative action. We aim here, in particular, to tell about some interlacing between ethics and technic with subject, three basis that ensures the success of the communicative action. Supposing that the discourse ethics comes out as result of collective decisions, we ask up to where it is necessary and possible, and link this discussion with theme of the responsibility and ethics concerning to arguments and justification in behalf of a possilbe foundationalism of the contemporary ethics.

Normative Foundation

El objetivo de este artículo es defender que la pragmática transcendental ofrece la fundamentación normativa de la teoría crítica como teoría de la acción comunicativa. Para ello se expondrá en primer lugar el problema de la normatividad en la Teoría Crítica de la sociedad. Tras describir la forma que adquiere esta teoría tras el giro lingüístico operado por Jürgen Habermas, se reconstruirán en tercer lugar los elementos fundamentales de la pragmática transcendental apeliana y habermasiana. En cuarto y último lugar se mostrará que este modelo constituye la fundamentación normativa de la nueva teoría crítica. The aim of this paper is to argue that transcendental pragmatics constitutes the normative foundation of critical theory, understood as theory of communicative action. To that end, the issue of normativity within Critical Theory discussions is first exposed. After describing the form this theory takes from the linguistic turn carried out by Jürgen Habermas, key elements of Karl Otto Apel´s and Jürgen Habermas´ transcendental pragmatics are thirdly reconstructed. Fourth paragraph shows that this model operates as the normative foundation of the new critical theory.

Theory Of Communicative Action

This completed action research utilizes the conceptual framework of quantum mechanics in action science field studies for bias-free behavioral data collection and quantification. The research question tied to experimental verification if action research field studies can practically utilize the theory of communicative action and the theory of quantum mechanics to contextualize the quantification with pathological and distorted behavioral pattern. The result is a quantum-like formalism that provides intermediary conceptuality for organizational intervening initiatives. This process of contextualization behavior in projects via quantum probability experimentally evidenced. The chapter concludes by reviewing the results of two experiments that the hypotheses that the theory of quantum mechanics and the theory of communicative action qualifies as a building block for a planned methodological approach to intervene and steer problematic social structures in the desired direction.

This chapter asserts that the emergent ontology of critical realism especially as mobilized by sociologist Dave Elder-Vass in his discussion of norm circles provides a powerful theoretical basis for supporting the emancipatory aspirations of critical adult education. According to Michael Welton, because of its capacity to support social learning, critical adult education has a pivotal role to play in human emancipation. Drawing on Jürgen Habermas's critical theory of communicative action, Michael Welton argues that critical adult education's deepest contemporary purpose is to foster social learning that can enable people to resist the destructive colonization of lifeworld contexts. This chapter argues that, while Habermas provides important insight into the normative foundations of critical adult education, his theory of communicative action cannot alone illuminate the ways human learning shapes and is shaped by lifeworld contexts. Elder-Vass's exploration of norm-circles helps identify weaknesses in the concept of “social learning” and identify how, in addition to supporting individual learning, emancipatory adult educators can also support the distinctive emergent power of norm-circles to form and enforce epistemic, discursive, ethical, and practical norms.

According to Michael Welton, because of its capacity to support social learning, critical adult education has a pivotal role to play in human emancipation. Drawing on Jürgen Habermas's critical theory of communicative action, Welton argues that critical adult education's deepest contemporary purpose is to foster social learning that can enable people to resist the destructive colonization of lifeworld contexts. This paper argues that, while Habermas provides important insight into the normative foundations of critical adult education, his theory of communicative action does not possess an ontology that can sufficiently illuminate the ways human learning shapes and is shaped by lifeworld contexts. The emergent ontology of critical realism, the paper argues, especially as mobilized by sociologist, Dave Elder-Vass in his discussion of norm circles, provides an additional theoretical basis for enabling critical adult education to realize its fullest emancipatory potential.
