Order Without Rules: Critical Theory and the Logic of Conversation

Bag om Order Without Rules: Critical Theory and the Logic of Conversation

Since Max Weber social theory has been faced with a paradox -- the "problem of rationality" -- that seems to challenge the very foundations of critical and humanist visions of modern society. According to Weber, as industrial societies develop they increasingly are dominated by rational procedures for the production of goods, the organization of human resources, and the management of information. The paradox consists in the fact that while modern society is, in this instrumental sense, becoming more rationalized, the prospects for developing political and cultural institutions which are linked to a progressive vision of rational discourse and democratic-will formation are diminished.
