“Modernity; unfinished project” has been one of the most effective articles of the world during the recent three decades and it has been the source of controversis in many different fields of though. But the main question is: Why this paper is so important? And what lessons can be learned from it for writing of scientific articles? Although, the article contains many thought-provoking and informative notes but its prose is in some places, concise, ornate and difficult. It is translated about a decade ago into Persian, and apparently has been done quickly and with little accuracy. Perhaps that is why it needs serious revision with the emergence of many Habermas' sociological and philosophical backgrounds. Therefore, the first purpose of this paper is to provide a conceptual abstract and as much as possible, an accurate and faithful summary of article using two English translations and (when necessary) referring to the original German article. Then, it showes that why this article is important technically by analyzing and abstraction of “Questions”, “ideas”, “theorems” and “assumptions” and how it can provide Criteria for effective, scientific and philosophical writing. و فلسفی هابرماس، نیازمند بازنگری جدی است.
هدف نگارنده از ارائه این مقاله، نخست آن است که با استفاده از دو ترجمه‌ی انگلیسی و (در مواقع ضروری) رجوع به اصل آلمانی مقاله، خلاصه‌ای مفهوم و در حد توان، دقیق و امین از مقاله ارائه دهد و سپس با تجزیه‌و‌تحلیل و انتزاع «سؤالات»، «ایده‌ها»، «تزها» و «مفروضه‌ها» نشان دهد که چرا این مقاله، به لحاظ روشی مهم است و چگونه می‌تواند معیار‌هایی برای نگارش مقالات تأثیرگذار علمی و فلسفی در اختیار ما قرار دهد.

In the present essay, it is suggested that Islam's view on human could be formulated essentially in terms of agency. From this perspective, action and human agency is based on three basic foundations termed as cognition, emotion, and will. The agency point of view with the mentioned components is a hard core that should be seriously taken into account in any kind of theorizing about the human like what is involved in psychology or sociology. Of course, talking about impulsive behavior in the individual or the unpredictability of consequences of integrated actions at the social level is compatible with the agency point of view in the Islamic theory of action given that the above-mentioned hard core is accepted at the bottom. Habcrmas has also seriously taken into account the human agency. In his theory, two models of purposive-rational and functional rationality in system are used. These two models have led to acceptance of two conceptual apparatuses and two methodological styles. The characteristics of these two apparatuses and methodological styles prevent us from considering continuity between them. This is because changing "the actor's view" to "the spectator's view" changes the quality of the subject altogether. Comparing the two theories, it could be said that Habermas's view on the cybernetic explanation of social system is an example of the explanation that is based on assumptions different from those of Islamic view on human. This is because the cybernetic explanation, as Habermas holds, does not care at all about intentions and awareness of agents. In this kind of explanation, it is held that the system itself has an objective entity and, in addition, has particular laws for development according to the logic of feedback and in which intentions and awareness of agents have no place
