La comunicación abordará brevemente la transición desde la Teoría Tradicional a una Teoría Crítica, que supera el dualismo entre teoría y praxis, pensamiento y acción. En definitiva, esclareciendo las relaciones entre ciencia, tecnología y poder. En orden a fundamentar criterios de intervención social del Estado. Habermas evoluciona desde la Teoría Marxista y la crítica del Materialismo Histórico para dar lugar a una nueva concepción del hombre, pasando desde la responsabilidad solidaria a una democracia deliberativa, para crear un modelo que busca fortalecer las condiciones de la comunicación en las sociedades pluralistas, donde tan necesaria es la justicia del Estado de Derecho como la solidaridad de las Redes Ciudadanas. Se abordarán algunos conceptos fundamentales de la Política Social aplicada a aquellos aspectos de la Intervención Social que resultan más relevantes a la hora de definir las intervenciones del Estado. Una democracia deliberativa debe prefigurar unos límites a la imposición de valores para impedir que las ayudas sociales supongan intromisiones en la vida privada de los que las reciben. En conclusión, intentaremos adaptar las reflexiones teóricas a la intervención social de nuestra propia realidad mediterránea.
