Escaping monologic reason requires replacing philosophy of consciousness with communicative rationality

Evidence

This dilemma can be escaped ‘only if we give up the paradigm of the philosophy of consciousness - namely a subject that represents objects and toils with them - in favour of the paradigm of linguistic philosophy - namely, that of intersubjective understanding or communication — and put the cognitiveinstrumental aspect of reason in its proper place as part of a more encompassing communicative rationality.’ — Alex Callinicos, Against Postmodernism, 383

Categorization

• DEFINE: Defines Habermas’s core proposed replacement: intersubjective communicative rationality displacing the solitary Cartesian subject.
• XREF: Directly positions Habermas within the reader’s broader modernity/postmodernity debate; relevant to the reader’s engagement with Jameson’s late capitalism thesis and its philosophical roots. — connects to: Modern philosophy replaces substance-dualism solipsism with knowledge-based connection to the Other.; Reason becomes a mere instrument of the economic apparatus once consciousness is removed. — Theodor W.
