HABERMAS’S THEORY OF COMMUNICATIVE ACTION AND IT’S VALUE IN MODERN COMMUNICATION FIELD IN THE WORLD

Abstract

In recent years, the development of the internet has led to a strong explosion of social media, fundamentally changing the media ecosystem of our time. More and more new media and forms of communication have emerged with diverse content, new information and variety methods in communication, forming a wide communication network, connecting people together. However, the consequence of this development is the information overload coupled with the information movement at breakneck speed causing problems such as information manipulation or fake news, etc. Harbermas' communicative action - as a philosophical theory concerned with the communication behavior between two or more people whose ultimate goal is towards mutual understanding and consensus - will provide a viewpoint, also a tool to help people see current communication issues in a more multidimensional and broader way, so that people can be more cautious and filter the necessary information for themself from the countless information that floats on the communication network.
