Abstract: As the philosophical reflection on presuppositions inherent in speech-act, transcendental-pragmatics has both philosophical and practical significance. In the post-war intellectual constellation, transcendental-pragmatics, as a philosophical response to skepticism and civilization crises, seeks the ground for constructing a modern civilized society. A reasonably revised transcendental-pragmatics is capable to cope with its internal theoretical challenges on the one hand and the change of intellectual and institutional surroundings on the other, and consequently play a positive role in fostering and strengthening a spirit of enlightenment with self-critique and self-consciousness.
