Jürgen Habermas was able to revive the critical thought of the Frankfort School through a number of language strategies and ideas which became crucial to the founding principles of the philosophical school. This paper highlights the characteristics and dimensions of his “Universal Pragmatics” which marks, through various underpinnings, Habermas’s philosophical and political project. The paper traces, identifies, and compares the pragmatic theories of communication as advanced by John L. Austin, John R. Searle, and Paul Grice along with the critical positions Habermas developed in his political universal pragmatics. Referenced and cited are his predecessors in the general domain of the philosophy of communication and, in particular, in the field of pragmatics, which principally concerns the use of language by its addressors and addressees through deductive and logical strategies of interpretation as it is dictated by socio-epistemic-cultural contexts and backgrounds.
