Jürgen Habermas on Political Science - Dictionary of Arguments
III 18 Political science/Habermas: it had to emancipate itself from rational natural law. >Natural justice. The new concepts of civil formal law offered the possibility to proceed constructively and to design the legal-political order under normative aspects as a rational mechanism.(1) >Law, >Society, >Rationality/Habermas. Political science deals with politics as a social subsystem and relieves itself of the task of conceiving society as a whole. >Systems, >System theory. It excludes questions of legitimacy from the scientific viewpoint or treats them as empirical questions of a belief in legitimacy that has to be understood descriptively. In doing so, it breaks the bridge to rationality problems. >Legitimacy/Habermas. 1.Wilhelm Hennis, Politik und praktische Philosophie, Neuwied, 1963; Hans Maier, Die ältere deutsche Staats- und Verwaltungslehre, Neuwied, 1966._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
