Jürgen Habermas on Life - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 168 Life/Sense/Habermas: as far as a person makes the decision about who he/she wants to be dependent on rational considerations, he/she does not orientate himself/herself by moral standards, but by those standards of happiness and success, on which we also intuitively base the evaluation of life forms, because the way of life of the individuals is intertwined with the life form of the collective to which they belong. >Person, >Individual, >I, Ego, Self. Whether a life succeeds does not depend on standards of normative correctness, although the standards of successful life are also not completely independent of moral standards. >Values, >Norms, >Morals, >Ethics, >Society, >Cultural values. Since Aristotle, the philosophical tradition has treated this elusive connection between happiness and justice under the title of good. >The good, >The good/Aristotle, >Justice, >Justice/Aristotle. Life forms crystallize just as much as life stories around particular identities, which, if life is to succeed, must not contradict moral demands; but their substance cannot even be justified from a universalistic point of view. >Justification, >Ultimate justification._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
