Abstract: This paper aims to critically analyze some of the social and political dimensions of the philosophy of Jürgen Habermas, from the perspective of reconstruction theory of democracy, based on communicative action. Habermas's philosophy constiutie a benchmark for social and political thinking. The author builds a bridge between American philosophy, Anglo-Saxon philosophy and Continental one (Bohman, Rehgn, 2011), between more analytical and pragmatic philosophy, on one hand, and on the other the continental postmodernism. Habermas has held a series of debates with the leading philosophers such as Gadamer, Foucault, Derrida, etc. Habermas has built his own theory of deliberative democracy, constitutional and postliberal type. Democracy as seen by Habermas, at least in his maturity writings, is dependent to the cosmopolitan and universalist vision, post-national and global.
