Generalization: a generalization is the extension of a statement (an attribution of properties) that applies to a domain D of objects to an object domain E that is larger than D and contains D. Time points may also belong to the subject domain. A property which fully applies to the objects of an object domain may be partially applicable to the objects of a larger domain. See also validity, general invalidity, general, predication, methods._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

This allows the general structures of communication-oriented action... IV 269 ...to become more and more prominent. >Religion/Habermas, >Cultural tradition. Thus value generalization is a necessary condition for the release of the rationality potential invested in communicative action. B. The release of communicative action from particular value orientations also means the separation of success- and communication-oriented action. >Success, >Agreement. The scope for subsystems of purpose-rational action arises. Demoralised coercive law forces a deferral of legitimacy that makes it possible to control social action via the media. >Communication Media/Habermas)._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
