Abstract
This study seeks to contribute to the understanding of leisure. For this analysis we will interpret leisure via The Theory of Communicative Action (TCA) of Jurgen Habermas (1987a and 1987b). First, we aim to understand the most important categories of the TCA, especially the concepts of Life World (LW), Money Systems (MS) and Power Systems (PS), and then, we interpret leisure via TCA. In a second step, we seek to strengthen this referential by bringing other interpretations of the object leisure, such as: leisure and work, leisure and postmodern, leisure and pleasure; showing how the Habermasian referential can contribute to the interpretation of contemporary leisure. To conclude, we bring a definition of leisure, based on all the theoretical construction presented in this study. This study is theoretical exploratory, based on understanding of the theories of leisure, the Habermasian reference (TCA) and the understanding of leisure via this reference.
