In recent decades, corporate social responsibility (CSR) has gained headway in academic research and managerial practice. Although CSR has become notorious, its concept still raises doubts. What is CSR really about? How do the parties involved in CSR relate? Is the concept of CSR influenced by any kind of control? With the spread of CSR, its concept became unclear, attracting different meanings that emerged as the results of the forces involved. In order to better understand the concept, this article presents a multidisciplinary reading of CSR. For this purpose, the contributions of three areas of knowledge are used: Business, Law and Philosophy, focusing on Habermasian thought. Habermas’ Theory of Communicative Action makes it possible to take a critical view on CSR, extending its traditional meaning. This essay faces some important questions that surrounds CSR and brings attention to the necessity of consciously improve its concept
