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.
