| Resumo: | This article addresses the theory of action and systems theory in the works of Talcott Parsons and Jürgen Habermas. It is divided in two main parts: the first presents the key stages of Parsons’ theoretical evolution and the second deals with the critical reconstruction of the Parsonian theory by Habermas. Based on a presentation of Parsons’ theory, the primary objective of this article is to highlight how this author’s theoretical legacy reverberates in contemporary social theory, as exemplified in the critical appropriation of the Parsonian proposal by Habermas’ theory of communicative action. |
