Jürgen Habermas on Philosophy of History - Dictionary of Arguments
III 218 Philosophy of History/Habermas: Spencer was able to establish a theory of social evolution that removed the unclear idealism of philosophy of history and regarded the progress of civilization as a continuation of natural evolution and thus subsumed it under the laws of nature without all ambiguities. >H. Spencer, >Civilization, >Laws, >Laws of Nature, >Progress. HabermasVsPhilosophy of History: trends such as scientific development; capitalist growth, the establishment of constitutional states, the emergence of modern administrations, etc. could not be treated as empirical phenomena by philosophy of history. Philosophy of history could only interpret this as a sign of rationalization in the sense of philosophy of history. >Abstraction/Habermas, >Historiography, >History. IV 562 Solution/Habermas: a ((s) purified) theory can no longer be based on concrete ideals inherent in traditional forms of life; it must be oriented towards the possibility of learning processes that have been opened up with a learning level already achieved historically. It must renounce the critical assessment and normative classification of totalities, ways of life and cultures, of life contexts and epochs as a whole. >Totality, >Whole, >Criticism, >Critical Theory, >Society, >Sociology._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
