Information About

Communicative Action




In sociological terms, the communicative action is a Social Action that can be compared to Instrumental Action (self-interested), Normative Action (adapted to a shared value system) or Dramaturgical Action (one which is designed to be seen by others and to optimize our public self-image). Habermas claims that all of those actions are parasitic upon the communicative action, which goes beyond them (Habermas, 1991, volume 1., pp.82-101).
