Περίληψη

In this article an attempt is being made to consider the possibility of the social construction and decentralization of rationality within the historical frame of modernity In modern western societies the, rationalization - modernization process is characterized the expansion of purposive-formal rationality which constitutes their dominant form Additionally, the uncoupling and internal differentiation of cultural value spheres shapes distinct and in Weber's terms substantive forms of rationality. However, according to Habermas, the alternative forms of rationality, through a complementary function, contributes to the construction of communicative rationality and undermines the over development of formal-purposive rationality. The above optimistic position, which pushes forward Haberma’s notions of understanding and consensus, could create possibilities for alternative functions within Bernstein’s mainly deterministic conceptual system. The multiplicity of the intermediations, that Bernstein's concept of recontextualization offers, contributes to a complementary function of alternative forms of rationality in the process of construction of school knowledge. These complementary functions indicate the concept of communicative rationality which could decrease the absolutism of formal purposive rationality in any level of the recontextualization process.
