Synopsis

The study draws on three principle authors: John Austin was a british philosopher who developed Speech Act theory, in which utterances are understood as actions rather than merely descriptions. Jurgen Habermas is a german philosopher-sociologist who developed Austin's ideas in his theory of communicative action. Habermas identifies himself as a neo-marxist but as the philosopher of discourse he has engaged with thinkers across the political and religious spectrum.
