Analytic Study of Haberma's View on Moral and Social Education Goals: Emphasizing on Communicative Action Theory

After “Renaissance”, human wants to overcome nature and using it for peace or at least getting comfort life, but passing of the time shows that human in achieving ideals and imaginations of “modernity” is unsuccessed. In such condition, some thinkers are disagreed with this trend, but Habermas wants to reform it. Habermas with using different thinkers’ thoughts believes modern rationality could not explore all dimensions of itself and only strategic rationality rule over modern society, so Habermas wants to reform “modernity project” that he says is “unfinished project”, with developing new epistemological approach and “Communicative Action Theory”. In this essay, writer using the analytical-discursive method wants to explore moral education goals. The finding shows that Habermas emphasizing on “communicative rationality”, “life world”, “discourse ethic” in “communicative action theory” propounds following goals: in personal level growth and fulfillment of rationality based on normative communication)communicative rationality) and in social level achieving to consensus based on moral actions are moral education goals. Of course, achieving to consensus is occurred in the context that there is freedom and equity and this context also provides growth of virtues such as justice and freedom.
