Abstract

The difference between Habermas and other POSITIVISM critiques lies in his belief of unfinished modernity, which occupies a particular position in most of his theoretical views. There exists an obvious andhidden quarrel between some elements and fundamental beliefs of logical POSITIVISM paradigm and Habermase’s system of theories and his general concepts of sociology that finally clears his position toward this paradigm. Habermas distinguishes the logical POSITIVISM as a product of modernizing society in its capitalistic dimension. He tries to modify the project of enlightenment by discussing the theory of ‘unfinished modernity’ and other theories as well as propounding the dichotomy of rationality which entails instrumental and COMMUNICATIVE RATIONALITY. In order to do so, he tries to expand Webber’s purposeful rationality. This rationality as Thomas McCarthy, philosopher, commentator and Habermase’s translator to English, says focuses on world patronage in order to make it work for human being. This is the INSTRUMENTAL RATIONALITY which is honored by logical POSITIVISM and is recruited by capitalism. This rationality entails insanity in Habermase’s view. Habermase’s pathology of INSTRUMENTAL RATIONALITY, separates him from Webber and other intellectuals of critical school. He sees the INSTRUMENTAL RATIONALITY and its concluding paradigm, logical POSITIVISM, as a ‘system’ and declares COMMUNICATIVE RATIONALITY against it. From now on his path toward completing modernity begins. So, if unfinished modernity was depending on Descartes’ ‘individual intellectual’, the complete modernity is depending on Habermase’s ‘social intellectual’.In this article we try to distinguish the obvious and hidden quarrel between some elements and fundamental beliefs of logical POSITIVISM paradigm and Habermase’s system of theories. This situation shows most in his ‘recognition and HUMAN INTERESTS’ theory. But before Habermas, we look at some Marx and Marxist positions on POSITIVISM paradigm. This is executed because the kind of relationship between Marxist attitudes and POSITIVISM gets clearer and also Habermase’s ideas as a neo-Marxist which first was dependent on critical school and then stood far from it gets better recognized.
