Resumo: Considering the criticisms of Habermas’ communicative action theory, this essay problematized and reflected on another possible criticism: scholars of the theory, despite presenting a common understanding – enlightenment and emancipation of man – do not reach a consensus on what this theory represents compared to other theories and rationality types. The guiding question of the essay is: does the transition proposed by Habermas from other rationality types to the communicative concern an interparadigmatic theory or a paradigmatic leap? Methodologically, we adopted the conception of an essay according to which authors and readers need to recognize that reality can be understood in different ways. The discussion, contextualized in public administration, allowed us to understand that considering the communicative action theory as having an interparadigmatic character does not mean it is a mere gathering of other theories because it surpasses those it dialogues with, additionally presenting a radical shift. We propose that the Communicative action theory comprises a paradigmatic leap with interparadigmatic characteristics. Finally, we present implications of this discussion for Public Administration.

Finally, we present implications of this discussion for Public Administration.Cada vez más, la investigación sobre la gestión de las organizaciones culturales se destaca al reconocer las contribuciones simbólicas y materialeConsiderando las críticas a la teoría de la acción comunicativa de Habermas, este ensayo problematizó y reflexionó sobre otra posible crítica: los estudiosos de la teoría en cuestión, a pesar de presentar un entendimiento común –iluminación y emancipación del hombre–, no llegan a un consenso sobre lo que esta teoría representa, en comparación con otras teorías y tipos de racionalidad. La pregunta orientadora del ensayo fue: ¿la transición propuesta por Habermas de otro tipo de racionalidad a la comunicativa concierne a una teoría interparadigmática o un salto paradigmático? Metodológicamente, adoptamos la concepción de ensayo según la cual autores y lectores deben reconocer que la realidad puede entenderse de diferentes formas. La discusión, contextualizada en la administración pública, permitió entender que considerar la teoría de la acción comunicativa como de carácter interparadigmático no significa que sea un mera agrupación de otras teorías, pues va más allá de aquellas con las que dialoga, presentando, además, un cambio radical. Proponemos que la teoría de la acción comunicativa comprende un salto paradigmático con características interparadigmáticas. Finalmente, presentamos las implicaciones de esta discusión para la administración pública.Considerando as críticas à teoria da ação comunicativa de Habermas, este ensaio problematizou e refletiu sobre outra possível crítica: estudiosos da teoria em questão, apesar de apresentarem um entendimento comum – iluminação e emancipação do homem –, não chegam a um consenso sobre o que essa teoria representa, quando comparada a outras teorias e tipos de racionalidades. A questão norteadora do ensaio foi: a transição proposta por Habermas de outros tipos de racionalidades para a comunicativa diz respeito a uma teoria interparadigmática ou a um salto paradigmático? Metodologicamente, adotamos a concepção de ensaio segundo a qual autores e leitores precisam reconhecer que a realidade pode ser compreendida de diferentes maneiras. A discussão, contextualizada na administração pública, permitiu-nos compreender que considerarmos a teoria da ação comunicativa como possuidora de um carácter interparadigmático não significa que a mesma seja um mero ajuntamento de outras teorias, porque ela ultrapassa aquelas com as quais dialoga, apresentando, adicionalmente, uma mudança radical. Propomos que a teoria da ação comunicativa compreende um salto paradigmático com características interparadigmáticas. Por fim, apresentamos implicações dessa discussão para a administração pública.Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2022-04-26info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8553010.1590/1679-395120210013Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 20 No. 2 (2022); 164-178Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 20 Núm. 2 (2022); 164-178Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 20 n. 2 (2022); 164-1781679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/85530/80708https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/85530/80709Athayde, André Luiz MendesAlves, Luís Fernando de SouzaPaula, Pablo Perón deGomes, Adalmir de Oliveirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-04-26T22:51:11Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/85530Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:26.258445Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
