Isi artikel

The concept of civil society has gained common acceptance in recent years, not just within adult education in universities to enable and prepare young people as moral persons but also in organizational management, industrial training, and political decision-making to empower citizens as moral agents and social actors. It is about the notion of enabling people to take control of their own lives and to free themselves from the structures which dominate and constrain. But in the debate about people becoming empowered there has been an absence of a discussion about the nature of inter-subjective relationship and solidarity as it is rooted in communicative practice of everyday life-world. This paper attempts to clarify the nature of inter-subjectivity and solidarity within existing social subsystems and struggling for mutual recognition by re-coupling independent social subsystems within the communicative structure of the life-world. Jürgen Habermas’s work on civil society highlights an essential tension in modern democracy. It is the tension between the normative and the real, morality and law, life-world and system or administered world, communicative action and strategic action, or discourse and systematically distorted communication. Understanding this tension is crucial to understanding modern democracy, what it is and what it ought to be.
