Theory of Communicative Action, Volume I, Reason and the Rationalization of Society. Translated by Thomas McCarthy. Boston: Beacon Press, 1984; German: Handlungsrationalität und gesellschaftliche Rationalisierung. Suhrkamp, 1981.

From the Times Literary Supplement:

A major contribution to contemporary social theory. Not only does it provide a compelling critique of some of the main perspectives in 20th century philosophy and social science, but it also presents a systematic synthesis of the many themse which have preoccupied Habermas for thirty years.
