Knowledge and Human Interests Jürgen Habermas (Farsi)

Description

"Knowledge and Human Interests" by Jürgen Habermas, published in 1968, critically examines the relationship between knowledge and social interests. Habermas argues that traditional theories of knowledge, shaped by historical and social contexts, often serve dominant social groups' interests. Divided into three parts, the book explores how cognitive interests influence scientific knowledge, traces the historical development of the sciences, and analyzes the social context within which knowledge is produced and disseminated. This seminal work has been pivotal in shaping debates in sociology, philosophy of science, and social epistemology, emphasizing the socio-political dimensions of knowledge and its implications for understanding societal dynamics.
