End of century: Habermas’ theory of recognition and end of Moderna

Summary/Abstract: The fundamental quality of modernity is found in the conceptualism, the realization in the founding opinion of architecture, immanently to its being directed towards the completion of the conceptually structured project. The receptive consideration of a certain opinion is therefore directed to the consideration of perspective possibilities which it carries with itself and the recognition of intentional starting points in terms of defining the order of presentation in the following of mid efforts. In a certain manner, this contains the requirements of the critical examination of efforts intoned in the post-moderna trends, overcoming the guidelines of the metaphysical mind and traditionally postulated values. Rorty summarizes the whole thing into the difference between “validity” and “power” (Richard Rorty, Habermas and Lyotard on Postmodernity, in: Essays on Heidegger and others), counterposition which in the final instance represents an opponency of the truthful and the valid, in which Sloterdijk recognizes the history of metaphysics as the history of flight from truth.
