The main thesis of the presented article implies that one of the possible and, simultaneously, immensely important responses to the question: “Why philosophy?,” is to indicate the necessity of a philosophical diagnosis regarding the current condition of communicative rationality. This diagnosis-obtained on the basis of the analyses and decisions of transcendental-pragmatic communication philosophy-ultimately obliges philosophy to construct the theoretical framework for the project of new paideia. The primary features of this project stem from the recognition of the megamedia character of today’s communication space and fundamental threats that are conditioned by the specificity of this space. The postulated paideia project must be based on the ethical principle of co-responsibility and its goal: shaping towards discursive rationality.
