Talcott Parsons on Integration - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 341 Def social integration/Parsons/Habermas: extends to functions of preservation and integration of cultural values incorporated into the action system. It is not measured by functional imperatives, but by consistency requirements. Habermas IV 350 Integration/Parsons/Habermas: the integration of a society with Parsons can be understood as the continuous renewal of a compromise between two series of imperatives. A) The conditions for the social integration of the lifeworld are defined by the basis of validity of the action-coordinating processes of understanding in connection with structures of a respective dominant world view; B) the conditions for the functional integration of society are defined by the relationships of the objectified lifeworld as a system to an only partially controlled environment. >Society/Parsons, >Society/Habermas. Habermas IV 362 From the mid-1960s, within his systems theory, for Parsons the idea of "functional integration" tacitly took the lead. The functional imperatives can still be fulfilled by means of normative consensus; but especially in modern societies, the areas of "norm-free sociality" are expanding so much that the need for integration must largely be satisfied by circumventing the communication mechanism. Cf. >Communication, >Communicative Action, >Communication Theory._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
