Abstract
In this piece of work I will analyze the critics raised by Jürgen Habermas to Michel Foucault´s theoretical developments. Once having introduced the references to Foucault that Habermas states in different works, the few that Foucault puts forward about Habermas, I will concentrate in The Philosophical Discourse of Modernity. Particularly, I aim to suggest that the critics advanced by the German author can only be applied to the Foucault that Habermas presents. My proposal is that Habermas`s problems do not lay in his critics but above all in the presentation he makes of the French thinker.Downloads
