Abstract
The way the theory of society is conceived
determines the value of the politics. So
functionalist theory usually has a conservative
attitude to political discussion, while the
critical theory relies more on the rationale for
changing the course of events. The first based
its strength in the analytical nature of his
proposals, the second in the defense of
freedom. Both positions have been exemplarily
represented by N. Luhmann and Habermas.
