German classical philosophy and J. Habermas's theory of the law-ordered state
Developing his theoretical views on the law-ordered state, J. Habermas took into account the approaches to this problem proposed by Kant and Hegel, but, at the same time, reconsidered them in the light of the post-metaphysical thought. On the basis of his understanding of the communication role in the constitution of society, Habermas believes that only a constant democratic legitimation process may provide the unity of private and public autonomy in the light of the liberal-republican approach permitting to cast a fresh glance on the Kantian and Hegelian philosophical heritage.
