In this wide-ranging work, now available in paperback, Habermas
presents his views on the nature of the social sciences and their
distinctive methodology and concerns. He examines, among other
things, the traditional division between the natural sciences and
the social sciences; the characteristics of social action and the
implications of theories of language for social enquiry; and the
nature, tasks and limitations of hermeneutics. Habermas' analysis
of these and other themes is, as always, rigorous, perceptive and
constructive.
This brilliant study succeeds in highlighting the distinctive
characteristics of the social sciences and in outlining the nature
of, and prospects for, critical theory today.
