According to whom, in modern societies the ‘life world’ is increasingly colonized ?
Answer: B
The thesis is J. Habermas's.
In The Theory of Communicative Action, Jurgen Habermas argued that in modern societies the 'system' (the economy and the state, steered by money and power) increasingly intrudes into the 'lifeworld', the sphere of everyday communication, culture and shared meanings. He called this the colonization of the lifeworld.
Giddens, Marcuse and Adorno wrote critically about modernity in other terms, but the lifeworld and its colonization are Habermas's concepts.
