論文の詳細を見る
Giddens was born in UK in 1938 and published his first book in 1971. Habermas was born in Germany in 1929 and published his first book in 1962. Both have been writing many books and become eminent social theorists of modern world. Giddens wrote some papers on Habermas' social theory and refered often it in his other many works. This paper aims to survey how he examined Habermas' social theory and show how he make good use of it in constructing social theory. First, Giddens' papers on Habermas' works are reviewed in the order of publication. When Giddens constructed his own general social theory which is named structuration theory and started to develop his own social theory on modern society by contemorary critique of hitorical materialism, he was influenced overtly or covertly by Habermas' social theory. Second, Giddens' structuration theory and Habermas' theoretical scheme of labour and interaction are compared. Through criticising Habermas' theoretical development on the base of labour and interaction, Giddens founded the base of structuration theory. Third, Giddens' theory of modernity and Habermas' one are compared. Through criticising Habermas' theory of system and life world in late-capitalist socity, Giddens developed the theory of capitalism and nation-state.
