| Description | Social theory taking seriously the normative dimension of social life has to deal with human-beings sense of self-transcendence. Recurrently the emancipatory potential of modern science is giving way to a new dogmatism of utility. Nevertheless, social theory has a potential to counter the naivety of applied scientific sociology. I will deal with two of the most reflective critiques of modern science, those of Husserl and Heidegger, and try to outline a perspective focusing on recent development in social theory. |
