Abstract

How can we understand the theoretical development and all the social-historical changes that drove the incoming recovery and the further alterations in the philosophical-social theories over the twentieth century? In spite of that, how would be still possible to recognize it on our contemporary society? Recovering Marxian social theory and Habermas’s critical reconstruction, which includes Weber’s rationalization paradoxes, Lukacs’s reification definition, and the Horkheimerian-Adornian theoretical reception, which has largely influenced twentieth social critic, the present paper intents to discuss (and show up) a possible reading.

Keywords: Philosophy; Critical Theory; Habermas; Marx; Mmodernity
