Jürgen Habermas on Justification - Dictionary of Arguments
III 67 Justification/rationale/Habermas: justification can only be explained by the conditions for discursive honoring of claims. >Discourse, >Discourse theory. Because descriptive, normative, evaluative, explicative, expressive statements differ in form, semantic analyses draw attention to the fact that the meaning of justification changes in a specific way with the form of the statement. >Sense, >Context, >Actions/Habermas, >Action Systems/Habermas, >Action theory/Habermas, >Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas, >Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas, >Communicative rationality/Habermas. The justification - of descriptive statements means the proof of the existence of facts; >Facts, >States of affairs - of normative statements the proof of the acceptability of actions or norms of action; >Norms, >Acceptability. - of evaluative statements the proof of the preferenceability of values; >Preferences. - of expressive statements the proof of the transparency of self-portrayals; >Truthfulness. - of explicative statements the proof that symbolic expressions have been generated compliant with rules. Validity claims: the meaning of the correspondingly differentiated validity claims can then be explained in such a way that one specifies the argumentation-logical conditions under which such proof can be made in each case. >Validity claims, >Argumentation._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
