The Triplets

  "What perspectives should also be included with Habermas' Paradigms?" Honestly, I would say that nothing needs to be modified in Habermas' generalized views. In fact, I believe these paradigms rely heavily upon each other, like Triplets in a family. Each particular paradigm has its own weakness, for example, the Empirical- Analytical paradigm turns away from the political aspects of thinking, by  particularly surrounding itself with scientific evidence. The Critical Theoretical Paradigm takes things a little bit further, by accepting the objective reality and adding on political views. Finally, the Situational Interpretive realm takes an objective approach over the other two paradigms by successfully sinking things down to a personal level. For instance, members of the Situational Interpretive Paradigm are interested to know emotions behind a particular feelings. An example would be, "what is it like when you publicly displace affection?". Science and political affairs are completely ignored by the Situational Interpretive realm, because it is a highly individualized, subjective realm that orbits around the idea of personal well being. In my opinion, all the bases seem to be covered by these Triplets, that there is really no need to add another major category. I mean yes, if things were a bit more specific, rather than generalized like Habermas' Paradigms then I could see it fit to add a few more ideologies, and views to the mix. Although, each of Habermas' Paradigms seem to interconnect, and thrive from one paradigm to the other, which could conclude that one particular realm (when I say realm, I do mean Paradigm!) could not be separated from the other mix, because of the enormous reliability that is surrounding each specific paradigm.
