Dialectic Process in History and Constitutive Politics

Abstract

Critical philosophy can be very complex. But this does not mean it is abstracted  from historical and social development in an elitist manner. It has profound ideological content that is connected to understanding the contradictions of domination and alienation produced by dialectical process. Hegelian contradictions are not ontologically connected to the material contradiction of historical reality. Marx’s materialistic dialectic has not resolved the idealist problems of Hegel’s dialectic because the role of absolute spirit. Habermas undermines the Kantian role for philosophy and bring them into fully cooperate relation to social sciences. A theory is critical to the extent that it seeks human emancipation to liberate human being from circumstances that enslaves them especially in developing countries. We have to take productive power of universalist reason beyond object and order to from a constitutive outside. The refusal to bring normativity to autonomy by linking it to well-being as positive human value is the basic question. A practical approach to critical theory responds to pluralism in the social sciences in two ways once again embracing and reconciling both side of traditional opposition between epistemic explanatory and non-epistemic interpretive approach to normative claim. History presents certain regularities and permits of certain generalization which can serve as a guide to future action. It is not that determinism is false but it is a fallacy to make impersonal forces responsible for what men had done. Dialectic has no remainder and history left no room for loser.
