Drawing on his theory of communicative action, Habermas elaborates an original conception of 'discourse ethics', seeking to reconstruct a moral point of view from which normative claims can be impartially judged.  \u003cp\u003eHabermas connects communicative ethics to the theory of social action via an examination of research in the social psychology of moral and interpersonal development. He aims to show that our basic moral intuitions spring from something deeper and more universal than contingent features of our tradition, namely from normative presuppositions of social interaction that belong to the repertoire of competent agents in any society.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMoral Consciousness and Communicative Action\u003c\/i\u003e confronts directly a variety of difficult and controversial problems which are at the centre of current debates in philosophy and social and political theory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eIntroduction by Thomas McCarthy. \u003cp\u003ePhilosophy as Stand-In and Interpreter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReconstruction and Interpretation in the Social Sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDiscourse Ethics: Notes on a Program of Philosophical Justification.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMoral Consciousness and Communicative Action.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMorality and Ethical Life: Does Hegel's Critique of Kant Apply to Discourse Ethics?.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52483191767320,"sku":"9780745611044","price":17.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745611044.jpg?v=1786023666","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/moral-consciousness-and-communicative-action-paperback-softback-9780745611044","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
