The reception to Habermas's magnum opus, The Theory of Communicative Action, has tended to downplay the theory of social evolution it contains, but there are no in-depth examinations of this aspect of Habermas's critical theory. This book fills this gap by providing a comprehensive and detailed examination of Habermas's theory of social evolution, its significance within the wider scope of his critical social theory, and the importance of a theoretical understanding of history for any adequate critical social theory.ProgressPhilosophyProgressPhilosophy.303.44/01Owen David S40533MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910974623903321Between reason and history4363388UNINA
