Jürgen Habermas’ Theory of Communication Action
Introduction
Jürgen Habermas is renowned as one of the most significant societal philosophers globally.
Habermas has established communication action, which helps to refurbish and convey cultural
awareness to achieve mutual understanding. In this event, individuals create personalities and
also a coordinate movement towards solidarity and social interaction.
The theory has various issues, which are the development of a balanced perception and which are
not limited or tied to individualistic and subjectivistic premises of social theory and modern
philosophy. Secondly, Habermas has also created a two-level societal notion that integrates the
system paradigms with the “lifeworld” concept of socialization. Finally, this modernity theory is

It ensures that consistency and tradition of knowledge continues, which is sufficient for
consensus practice of every day’s needs. For instance, coming into an understanding of one

harmonization of behavior, while the two inter-subjectively establish the standards that legally
govern personal relationships. The theory, thus, generates unity by controlling interpersonal
interactions from socialization. Recent events, for example, may be related to current conditions
around the world.
Finally, on the level of personality, the theory ensures that the characters with interactive
competencies are formed through the socialization process. The communication theory creates a
personal identity that is accepted by communicating capabilities within a historical time. For
example, a growing juvenile obtains all-inclusive skills for societal action and adopts the
