摘　　要：This theoretical article proposes using Jürgen Habermas' s theory of communicative action(TCA) as a normative instruction for texts intended for science popularization(SP). We used TCA approaches, such as the validity claims that should characterize argumentative debate and the interactive processes with ‘lifeworld'components(culture, person and society), to create a theoretical relationship between Habermas' s theory and SP practices. We propose that the TCA aligns with the objectives of a dialogic communication about science with the non-specialist public and can contribute to perspectives that emphasize dialogue about science in society. We conclude that the premises of communicative action can guide SP policies.
