The conditions of a social reason in Gadamer: the human reason in the specialist’s society

Abstract

Considering the problem of the “technification” of the opinion formation in the nowadays western political life, as well as the dominion of the conception of the modern science and its scientific methods, we aim to demonstrate the challenges and conditions proposed by Gadamer for the grasp of a social reason. Therefore, we proceed with a bibliographic research focusing in the text “What is práxis? The conditions of a social reason”. Thus, we observe that the dominion of the “technicism” and of the “ideal of a especialists society” are elements increasingly involved in the nowadays human racionality, and thus deserve a reflection about their consequences and about how to supplant these challenges with the coming of a “new solidarity”.
