Sait}, keywords={communicative reason,legitimacy,natural law,legal positivism,deontology}, abstract={<p>Habermas thinks of communicative reason as the last staging post of the humanity for truth and legitimacy in the post-traditional era. The main characteristic of this era is that metaphysics, nature and even reason are not considered as a candidate which can buit a common area of life. Habermas tries to construct the basis of an intersubjective legitimacy which is to be found in a communication based on the aim of consensus. He attempts to make this central idea of Discourse Ethics fruitful in the spheres of moral and law. In contrast to the theories of natural law and legal positivism Habermas attempts to reconstruct moral and law in a complementary relationship. <br> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Istanbul University}
