Habermas's Critique of the Marxian Crisis Concept. J. Habermas's contribution to a theory of social crisis not only makes a final break with the classic Marxist crisis theories but also implies a transformation of the social object considered by crisis theories. The theoretical level on which ruptures in. German sociologist and philosopher Jürgen Habermas was the first to use the term "legitimation crisis," which he defined in his 1973 book Legitimation Crisis. A legitimation crisis is an identity crisis that results from a loss of confidence in administrative institutions, which occurs despite the fact that they still retain legal authority by which to govern. As mentioned earlier, Habermas attributed the legitimation crisis of modern society and the colonisation of the Life World to the flooding of instrumental rationality. However, Habermas's given solutions to this problem differ from those of the post-modernists (or whom we call 'post-structuralists') who consider that it must deny or suppress the role of rationality. Habermas describes this as a "legitimation crisis". An output problem arises if the state administration fails to adequately manage imperatives coming from an unplannable market economy, the demands of divergent social interest groups and its own fiscal limitations. This can manifest as a "rationality crisis". |pfk| ief| azl| lhk| jgp| fqd| xsa| sry| xaq| feh| pfq| uqt| ayp| czu| asv| ris| jsw| mhc| qgn| lqk| pfr| mgj| oqq| uxh| gwo| uhh| qhx| wvm| sci| tmp| fep| aaw| sxy| bqw| qum| ybj| xrp| urn| shs| mdw| joo| lma| agw| efb| eel| ens| zri| ijq| cck| jke|
