Abstract: This paper discusses the thoughts of a modern philosopher named Jurgen Habermas, a German philosopher. Philosophy itself has developed in such a way. This development cannot be separated from the criticism of thought and theory offered by previous philosophers. As a result, it cannot be denied that with these criticisms, scientific development seems to be more extensive and comprehensive. Habermas himself, who is one of the leading philosophers of this century, cannot be separated from the intellectual world of criticism. One of his criticisms is that aimed at modern positivism in social science, which he calls knowledge and human interest (the relationship between science and interests). From the theory he offered, it can then be relevant to the study of the Qur'an today. The relevance of Habermas's theory of the relationship between science and interests and the study of the Qur'an is that the Qur'an (mushaf and text) is positioned in an objective world that has technical importance. Meanwhile, the study of the Al-Qur'an which is in the subjective world is the study of one's interpretation. As for the study of Al-Qur'an in the intersubjective world, it is the product of the mazab as a result of the istidlal of the Qur'anic verse which is then followed by its followers. Keywords: Knowledge and Human Interest, Jurgen Habermas, Al-Qur’an.   Abstrak Tulisan ini membahas pemikiran salah seorang filosof modern yang bernama Jurgen Habermas, seorang filosof Jerman. Filsafat sendiri mengalami perkembangan yang sedemikian rupa. Perkembangan tersebut tidak lepas dari kritik pemikiran maupun teori yang ditawarkan oleh para filosof terdahulu. Alhasil, tidak dapat dipungkiri dengan adanya kritik-kritik tersebut perkembangan keilmuan dapat dikatakan semakin luas dan komprehensif. Habermas sendiri yang merupakan salah satu tokoh filosof terkemuka pada abad ini, tidak lepas dari dunia intelektual kritik-mengkritik. Salah satu kritikannya adalah yang ditujukan pada positivisme modern dalam ilmu sosial, yang ia sebut sebagai knowledge and human interest (hubungan ilmu dan kepentingan). Dari teori yang ditawarkannya, kemudian dapat direlevansikan dengan kajian Al-Qur’an masa kini. Adapun relevansi antara teori Habermas tentang hubungan ilmu dan kepentingan dengan kajian Al-Qur’an adalah bahwasanya Al-Qur’an (mushaf dan teks) diposisikan pada dunia objektif yang memiliki kepentingan teknis. Sedangkan kajian Al-Qur’an yang berada di dunia subjektif adalah kajian tafsir atau penafsiran seseorang. Adapun kajian Al-Qur’an di dunia intersubjektif adalah produk mazhab hasil dari istidlal ayat Al-Qur’an yang kemudian diikuti oleh pengikutnya. Kata Kunci: Ilmu dan Kepentingan, Jurgen Habermas, Al-Qur’an.

Building on Habermas’s worldview, this paper attempts to construct a theory of wisdom that integrates the advantages of Eastern and Western cultures. To this end, we review previous definitions of wisdom and their problems and analyze the importance of worldview for wisdom. A worldview provided by the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas is eminently persuasive. We argue that Habermas’s worldview provides a more suitable basis for a polycultural theory of wisdom. The specific components of the wisdom theory are: (1) a relationalist belief in the universal world; (2) transcendental agency in the subjective world; (3) intersubjective communication orientation in the social world; and (4) integrated principles of certainty and uncertainty in the objective world. Inspired by this theory, people could adopt different principles for their subjective, social, and objective worldviews and coordinate them to deal with the problems of human survival, which would also promote the long-term flourishing of human civilization.

Discussions of the relationship between justice and democracy are generally premised on the assumption that they are two different things, only contingently and externally related. As a result, genuine conflicts seem possible whereby we are forced to decide whether democracy should trump justice or whether justice has priority over democracy. By focusing on the work of Jürgen Habermas and Rainer Forst, this chapter aims to show that deliberative democracy can provide a constructivist conception of justice which challenges this premise by explaining the internal relationship between justice and democracy. There is no justice without democracy in the sense that only citizens can democratically determine the specific content of justice. At the same time, there is also no democracy without justice in the sense that democratic outcomes are legitimate only to the extent that they can be understood as proper elaborations of the substantive but abstract ideal of justice-as-impartiality.

Hannah Arendt's work is of major importance primarily because of the categories of thought she originates, especially her concept of political action. But this concept has frequently been criticized for being irrelevant to, or incapable of comprehending, strategic concerns. This criticism however, is based on a misreading of Arendt on the relationship of specific motives and goals to political action. The critical interpretations of three commentators are considered here: Kirk Thompson, Jürgen Habermas, and Martin Jay. A detailed explication of the relevant texts from Arendt demonstrates the misreading of Arendt on which these criticisms are based and at the same time reveals the subtlety and power of Arendt's conception of the relationship between instrumentality and meaning in political action. Once this relationship is correctly understood, it becomes possible to appreciate the implications of Arendt's work for questions of political strategy.

The article deals with the revival of Jürgen Habermas and critical theory in the debate of feminist theory and method. At the conceptual level the relationship between discourse and identity and the question of a non-discoursive concept of experience are discussed. Several feminist researchers who have been attracted by poststructuralist thinking now aim at a combination of Habermas and Foucault. (e.g. Lois McNay). Also Seyla Benhabib and her critical  questions about postmodernism and emancipation enjoy great prominence. Can feminist theory be postmodernist and still retain an interest in emancipation? The article encourages to consider the possible combination of Foucalt's critique of institutions and of power/knowledge with the utopian thinking of Habermas.

This chapter examines the question of who is sovereign in the relationship between the European Union and its Member States. It first considers the relevance of the debate over sovereignty in the EU and the development of the concept of sovereignty, paying attention to public powers form the substance of sovereignty, Jürgen Habermas’ theory of dual sovereignty, and the relevant provisions of the Lisbon Treaty. It then explores the problem of whether one should maintain the concept of sovereignty or recognize that the era of post-sovereignty has begun. It argues that it makes sense to address the question of who is sovereign in the EU, suggesting that the answer will determine the future course of European integration. It also analyses which concept of sovereignty is best suited to understand and explain the EU.

The Relationship

This chapter explores the relationships between ICTs and ‘development’, drawing in particular on the Critical Theory of Jürgen Habermas, and highlighting the relationship between theory and practice, knowledge constitutive interests, and empowerment. It suggests that there are many different definitions of ‘development’, and that the hegemonic focus on ‘economic growth’ has inevitably led to greater inequality. This has been exacerbated by the rapid expansion of ICTs, which have widely been interpreted as being positive for development. There is, though, increasing recognition that whilst ICTs can indeed contribute to economic growth, they have also led to increasing inequality between those who have access to the latest technologies, and those who only have access to older ICTs or none at all. The book argues that there needs to be a refocusing on the interests of the poorest and most marginalized if ICTs are to be seen as contributing to effective development.

The aim of this article is to examine three currently dominant concepts of discourse, developed by Michel Foucault, Ernesto Laclau and Jürgen Habermas. I argue that these concepts of discourse constitute neither a coherent methodological agenda nor a coherent theoretical vision. That means that the reference to discourse will always imply engaging with a particular theoretical framework. I briefly discuss the theoretical traditions from which these concepts emerged and point to the essential elements which the respective concepts of discourse derived from these traditions. Concluding, I examine differences between and similarities in the discussed concepts, whereby I address, in particular, the relationship between discourse and everyday language, the notion of subjectivity and the concept of the social world.

This article examines the relationship of the Church to politics in post-secularism popularized by Jurgen Habermas. The research method used in this research is literature study. This research finds that, Post-secularism offered by Habermas provides space for the Church to translate the wealth contained in religion into a public message. In the view of post-secularism the Church has an important role to fill in the empty spaces that cannot be achieved by rationality. Habermas's thoughts on post-secularism also serve as a bridge to harmonize faith and rationality, as well as to explain dual citizenship as an unrelated Christian political view.Artikel ini menelaah hubungan Gereja dengan politik dalam pos-sekulerisme yang dipopulerkan oleh Jurgen Habermas. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi pustaka. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa, Pos-sekulerisme yang ditawarkan oleh Habermas memberi ruang Gereja untuk menerjemahkan kekayaan yang terkandung dalam agama menjadi pesan publik. Dalam pandangan pos-sekulerisme Gereja mempunyai peran penting untuk mengisi ruang kosong yang tidak dapat dijangkau oleh rasionalitas. Pemikiran Habermas mengenai pos-sekulerisme juga menjadi jembatan untuk menyelaraskan iman dan rasional, sekaligus menerangkan kewarganegaraan ganda sebagai pandangan politik Kristen yang selama ini tidka dimengerti.
