Abstract
The author stresses that the contemporary theories are extremely suitable for the analysis of the phenomenon most often called »the new social movement«, even the term »motion« would be more suitable. A theory of action seems to be the most suitable for the evaluation of new social movements because the major inherent characteristic of the movements are the continuous questioning of goals and contexts. The goal of the new social movements seems to be self-evident, because this evidence rests on the intervention into the living of the mass number of people. But, new social movements operates within the limits of the civil society which gives at the same time the frame of reference of theirs advantages and limits.
