Description

This scholarly examination explores how Jurgen Habermas' critical theory can be enriched by integrating fantasy and imagination into its framework of communicative rationality. The author argues that meaning emerges through both linguistic and performative dimensions, requiring desire and fantasy to be recognised as fundamental elements of intersubjective relations. By demonstrating how Habermasian social theory might reconnect with the early Frankfurt School's critical approach, this work offers a fresh perspective on communicative pathologies and the foundations of critical theory. Published by Routledge as part of the Studies in Philosophy series, the book provides scholars and advanced students of philosophy, social theory, and critical thought with a nuanced analysis of how psychological and imaginative dimensions reshape understanding of rationality, communication, and social critique.

Key Features

Routledge Studies in Philosophy series publication that bridges contemporary Habermasian theory with classical Frankfurt School perspectives.

Incorporates fantasy and imagination as constitutive aspects of communicative rationality, expanding traditional critical theory frameworks.

Examines desire and intersubjective relations through both linguistic and performative dimensions of meaning-making.

Addresses communicative pathologies by reconsidering the role of psychological and imaginative factors in social theory.

Designed for graduate-level study in philosophy, critical theory, social thought, and history of Western intellectual traditions.
