Critical Theory originated in the perception by a group of German
Marxists after the First World War that the Marxist analysis of
capitalism had become deficient both empirically and with regard to
its consequences for emancipation, and much of their work has
attempted to deepen and extend it in new circumstances. Yet much of
this revision has been in the form of piecemeal modification. In
his latest work, Habermas has returned to the study of capitalism,
incorporating the distinctive modifications of the Frankfurt School
into the foundations of the critique of capitalism. Drawing on both
systems theory and phenomenological sociology as well as Marxism,
the author distinguishes four levels of capitalist crisis -
economic, rationality, legitimation, and motivational crises. In
his analysis, all the Frankfurt focus on cultural, personality, and
authority structures finds its place, but in a systematic
framework. At the same time, in his sketch of communicative ethics
as the highest stage in the internal logic of the evolution of
ethical systems, the author hints at the source of a new political
practice that incorporates the imperatives of evolutionary
rationality.
