“…Both Dewey 9 and Habermas 10 could be referred to as the modern pioneers of reflection, they have both contributed greatly to Dewey's main concern was with the nature of reflection and how it occurs within an educational and psychological context. He uses many terms to describe reflection and its link to thinking, insisting that reflection is not just a procession of conscious thoughts, 7,13 but rather a process that leads to resolve a problem that initially posed perplexity and required a combination of evidence and rationality to reach an appropriate conclusion.…”

Practicing reflectively can assist the radiation therapist to monitor their work, foster professional growth and encourage currency of skills. Reflection is an attractive and desirable component to a radiation therapist's skill base. To provide radiation therapists the skills necessary to engage in reflection, they need a basic understanding of the theory underpinning reflection and reflective practice, and how they can be applied in the context of radiation therapy. This paper discusses the modern pioneers of reflective theory, as well as the concepts surrounding reflection and professional practice. The concepts central to experiential learning and the role reflection plays in the experiential learning cycle are described. This paper supports the role of reflection in the radiation oncology workplace and simplifies the theories of reflection described in the literature. It is the first step towards facilitating and supporting skill development in reflective thinking for clinical radiation therapists.

“…Indeed, there has been a long tradition of scholarship that has focused on this practical/political dimension to Marx's theory, one that cannot be adequately captured within the confines of positivist conceptions. In the diverse work of Jürgen Habermas (1971), Alvin Gouldner (1980), and Brian Fay (1987, we are treated to a more judicious discussion of Marx's methodological position. While none of these authors are particularly enamored by classical Marxism, they at least realize that Marx's theory was intimately empirical as well as critical and practical.…”

“…The resources of critique mobilised by subjects capable of speech and action can challenge the resources of control imposed upon them by systems capable of steering and action. The 'legitimations that a society accepts or criticizes' (Habermas [1965, 313) need to reach a reasonable level of justification -b, 183, italics in original) in order to ensure their own validation: political orders incapable of legitimation are essentially rational orders incapable of justification. A central function of critique consists in questioning the rational validity of political legitimacy either to reinforce or to undermine the relative stability of a given society.…”

Remarks on the concept of critique in Habermasian thought

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the concept of critique in Habermasian thought. Given that the concept of critique is a central theoretical category in the work of the Frankfurt School, it comes as a surprise that little in the way of a systematic account which sheds light on the multifaceted meanings of the concept of critique in Habermas's oeuvre can be found in the literature. This paper aims to fill this gap by exploring the various meanings that Habermas attributes to the concept of critique in 10 key thematic areas of his writings: (1) the public sphere, (2) knowledge, (3) language, (4) morality, (5) ethics, (6) evolution, (7) legitimation, (8) democracy, (9) religion, and (10) modernity. On the basis of a detailed analysis of Habermas's multifaceted concerns with the nature and function of critique, the study seeks to demonstrate that the concept of critique can be considered not only as a constitutive element but also as a normative cornerstone of Habermasian thought. The paper draws to a close by reflecting on some of the limitations of Habermas's conception of critique, arguing that in order to be truly critical in the Habermasian sense we need to turn the subject of critique into an object of critique.
