Abstract

Juergen Habermas's theory of communicative action provides certain conditions for human beings to understand each other's intentions and form a consensus through communication. Its main contents involve the theories of communication rationality, communication action, effectiveness of language communication, instrumental rationality and social criticism, and reconstruction rationality. Although the theory of communicative action is Utopian in a sense, it is of great value to the all-round development of today's society
