| Value spheres: Value spheres represent distinct domains in society where specific values, norms, and rules hold sway. They encompass various aspects of human life like the economy, politics, religion, or family, each with its own set of values shaping behaviors and interactions. Weber's concept highlights the diversity of values and the potential for conflict between spheres. See also Values, Society, M. Weber._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Max Horkheimer on Value Spheres - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas III 464 Value Spheres/HorkheimerVsWeber/Horkheimer/Habermas: Horkheimer assesses the separation of cognitive, normative and expressive value spheres differently from Weber. Starting from the emphatic concept of truth in metaphysics, Horkheimer dramatizes the inner division of reason to both sides; on the one hand, he sees the normative and the expressive value sphere deprived of any immanent claim to validity, so that moral and aesthetic rationality can no longer be spoken of. On the other hand, he believes that speculative thinking, which has been turned into criticism, still has a restitutive force that Weber would have considered utopian and suspected of the false charism of reason. >Critique, >Critical Theory, >Norms, >Rationality, >M. Weber. Weber/Horkheimer/Habermas: Weber and Horkheimer agree, however, that the meaningful unity of metaphysical-religious world views is disintegrating, thereby calling into question the unity of modernized life worlds and seriously endangering the identity of the socialized subjects and their social solidarity. >Life world, >Society, >Community._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
