Abstract

AbstractAfter “Renaissance”, human wants to overcome nature and using it for peace or at least gettingcomfort life, but passing of the time shows that human in achieving ideals and imaginations of“modernity” is unsuccessed. In such condition, some thinkers are disagreed with this trend, butHabermas wants to reform it. Habermas with using different thinkers’ thoughts believes modernrationality could not explore all dimensions of itself and only strategic rationality rule over modernsociety, so Habermas wants to reform “modernity project” that he says is “unfinished project”, withdeveloping new epistemological approach and “Communicative Action Theory”. In this essay,writer using the analytical-discursive method wants to explore moral education goals. The findingshows that Habermas emphasizing on “communicative rationality”, “life world”, “discourse ethic”in “communicative action theory” propounds following goals: in personal level growth andfulfillment of rationality based on normative communication (communicative rationality) and insocial level achieving to consensus based on moral actions are moral education goals. Of course,achieving to consensus is occurred in the context that there is freedom and equity and this contextalso provides growth of virtues such as justice and freedom.
