Method: a method is a procedure agreed on by participants of a discussion or research project. In the case of violations of a method, the comparability of the results is in particular questioned, since these no longer come from a set with uniformly defined properties of the elements.

Talcott Parsons on Method - Dictionary of Arguments

Habermas IV 311
Method/explanation/sociology/theory of action/Parsons/Habermas: Problem: if purposes and values in orders are already related to existing interests, institutionalized action can be understood as a process of realizing values under factual conditions. In this way, action and order could be correlated. However, Parsons isolates these two levels of analysis from each other. This exacerbates the construction problem.
>Theory of Action/Parsons
.
Habermas IV 330
HabermasVsParsons: in connection with a theory of communicative action, the attempt to separate "material" from "immaterial" patterns of value increases the confusion.
HabermasVsSubject Philosophy/HabermasVsEpistemology: the subject of epistemology directed at objects is a wrong model in its approach.
Solution/Habermas: a model of communication-oriented action that can be used for studying how culture, society and
Habermas IV 331
personality cooperate in the determination of action orientations.
>Background/Habermas.
Habermas IV 337
Method/HabermasVsParsons: when the pattern-variables (see Terminology/Parsons) describe a structural core common to several components (e.g. society, culture, personality), they cannot serve simultaneously to clarify the specific developments of these components on action orientations.
Problem: there is no counterpart to the communication mechanism.
Habermas IV 351
HabermasVsParsons: Parsons must make action connections suddenly understandable as systems without becoming aware of the change of attitude with which the concept of the action system is methodically first created through the objectification of the lifeworld. Therefore, he focuses on the theoretical introduction of the system concept.
Solution/Parsons: Parsons simply gives basic conceptual priority to system theory.
