General validity: A. within a calculus a formula that is satisfied by any interpretation (variable assignment with expressions for objects) is valid. See also satisfaction, satisfiability, interpretation. B. Validity For Jürgen Habermas, validity refers to the normative standards underlying communicative actions. It involves claims to truth (objective reality), rightness (moral norms), and sincerity (subjective intentions). These validity claims are assessed through rational discourse, aiming for mutual understanding and consensus, forming the basis of his theory of communicative action.

Stephen E. Toulmin on Validity - Dictionary of Arguments

Habermas III 62
Validity/Toulmin/HabermasVsToulmin/Habermas: Toulmin does not clearly separate conventional claims of validity that depend on contexts of action from universal claims of validity. His examples show this: e. g. determination of sports results, causes of an infection, reasons for entrepreneurial decisions, justification of access rights, recommendations for action, aesthetic judgements.

III 63
Habermas: only the context determines the type of claim to validity. Example:
A botanical classification is about the truth of a proposition. In contrast, the teaching of the same division by a teacher is about the claim to the comprehensibility of a semantic rule.
