| Research Abstract |
In exploring the significance of communicative rationality in Habermas' Critical Theory, I suggested that the concept of imagination is needed to develop his theory in the new direction. Above all I emphasized that besides one dimension of communication there is another dimension of world-disclosure in the language, which plays the important roll with relation to the imagination, and that in the conception of' soft naturalism' imagination is a pivotal concept by which the Reason is connected with the nature.
