  • Cf. Charles Taylor, Hegel (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1975), pp. 3–50. One could characterize the work of Habermas as a continuation of Hegel's attempt to mediate between a romantic philosophy of language as self-expression and a scientific philosophy of language as objective communication of facts.

  • Alvin W. Gouldner summarizes the social requirements for the existence of Habermas' ideal speech situation as follows: 1) No violence, 2) Permeable boundaries between public and private speech, 3) Allowance of traditional symbols and rules of discourse to be made problematic, and 4) Insistence upon equal opportunities to speak.

  • Herbert Marcuse's compelling analysis of the co-optation of progressive movements by the system in which they are embedded is an earlier version of the dialectical theory of communication which Habermas employs. Cf. Marcuse, “Repressive Tolerance,” in Critique of Pure Tolerance (Boston: Beacon Press, 1965), pp. 83–84. Habermas' description of the three worlds to which communication may refer seems related to Marcuse's account of linguistic meaning in One-Dimensional Man: Studies in the Ideology of Advanced Industrial Society (Boston: Beacon Press, 1964), pp. 196–197.
