Habermas holds that, although open to critique, we cannot always avoid the formulations derived from positivism, hence, he questions the radical rejection of science and technique, given that the scientific method provides information that has proven to have technical success - instrumental to guarantee the self-preservation of human life, which is why it cannot be completely dismissed.
Habermas sostiene que, aunque criticable, no siempre se logra evitar las formulaciones que derivan del positivismo, por lo tanto, cuestiona el rechazo radical a la ciencia y a la técnica, dado que el método científico proporciona información que ha demostrado tener éxito técnico - instrumental para garantizar la autoconservación de la vida humana, por lo que no es posible desestimarlo completamente.
