The modern world, emerging by a process of rationalization which is characterised as the 'delivery from magic through reason', emphasizes the turn from blind obedience to authority to the autonomy of the subject. In that sense, the modern world can be described as an 'educational project'. But today, because of its inherent ambivalence, the modern world, rather than being looked upon in a positive way, frequently becomes the object of a critical evaluation and pointing to the loss of the meaning of life and the loss of liberty, education centered on reason seems to be no longer possible.Contrary to this, there is the German philosopher J. Habermas, as one of those theorists who on the basis of a philosophy of 'linguistic turn' reexamine the concept of reason from the viewpoint of 'communicative reason' and thus foster the idea of an enlightened modern world. This paper tries to understand Habermas' philosophical accomplishments as a questioning of the basic background of a modern pedagogy; it attempts a new approach of an enlightened Consciousness based on the concept of 'communicative reason' and of educational thought.
