This thesis proceeds from 'How could power attain leitimation
?''(publicity andvisibility), 'How is power evolved?''(lifeworld
and the will to truth),and 'How is power being exercised?''(
subject and institution), and the concludingsection will begin
to examine from 'what is power?'' to 'how is critique possible?''(
Kantian inquiry).Habermas strives to construct 'critical
reason''(theaccusation of power);while Foucault is a kind of
'rationalized critique''(an analysis of reason).As the object of
critique(power) and its foundation(reason)is of the same,and no
reason/rationality can exclude itself from power, therefore
Foucault is not interested in the search for the foundation of
critique/reassn;while Habermas in differentiating them,
recognizing that not only is the object of critique(power) and
its foundation(reason) are not of the same, they are
evenmutually exclusive and repelling, so that critique can be
proceeded, reason thatcame through the approval of critical
reason is no longer a pure dominion.How precisely is the
relation between reason/critique and power?If they are ofthe
same, can critique avoid relativism? If not, can critique be
thorough? Therefore, their problem is not whether critique is
desirable, but'How is critique possible?''
