Because the problems of dynamics cannot be explained by a self-logic of world view development and the differentiation of value spheres. We need an analysis of the interests of the supporting classes, social movements, conflicts etc. to explain why - only on the Judeo-Christian line of tradition III 279 the rationalization that is internal to all worldviews has been fulfilled - the conditions for the institutionalisation of universalist legal and moral structures were only fulfilled in the West - only here typically occurring system problems were solved in such a way that the form of social integration characteristic of capitalist societies (with a methodical way of life and modern legal relations) has developed. >Rationality, >Rationalization, >Procedural rationality, >Law, >Morality, >Society, >Capitalism/Habermas, >Christianity, >Judaism._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
