Theory of Communicative Action: Volume 1: Reason and the Rationalization of Society | Jurgen Habermas, Juergen Habermas
A major contribution to contemporary social theory. Not only does it provide a compelling critique of some of the main perspectives in 20th century philosophy and social science, but it also presents a systematic synthesis of the many themse which have preoccupied Habermas for thirty years. --"Times Literary Supplement"
