Culture: Culture is the shared knowledge, beliefs, values, customs, and practices of a group of people. It is transmitted from one generation to the next and can vary greatly from group to group.

Jürgen Habermas on Culture - Dictionary of Arguments

III 41
Culture/Habermas: we call a person rational who interprets his or her nature of need in the light of culturally well-coordinated value standards, but especially when he or she is able to adopt a reflexive attitude towards the standards of value that interpret needs.
>Rationality/Habermas
.
Cultural values do not occur like norms of action with a claim to generality. Values candidate at most for interpretations among which a circle of interested parties can describe and standardize a common interest.
>Cultural values, >Culture shift, >Interpretation, >Values, >Norms.
Therefore, arguments used to justify value standards do not fulfil the conditions of discourses. In the prototypical case they have the form of aesthetic criticism. In the context of literary, art and music criticism, reasons have the peculiar function of presenting a value or representation in such a way that it can be perceived as an authentic expression of an exemplary experience, or even as the embodiment of a claim to authenticity.
>Aesthetics, >Art, >Literature, >Experience, >Authenticity.
IV 209
Def Culture/Habermas: I call culture the inventory of knowledge from which the communication participants provide themselves with interpretations by communicating about something in a world.
Def Society/Habermas: I call society the legitimate orders through which communication participants regulate their affiliation to social groups and thus ensure solidarity.
Def Personality/Habermas: By personality I understand the competences that make a subject capable of speaking and acting, i.e. repairing, participating in processes of communication and thereby asserting one's own identity.
Semantics/Habermas: the semantic field of symbolic contents form dimensions in which the communicative actions extend.
Medium/Habermas: the interactions interwoven into the network of everyday communicative practice form the medium through which culture, society and person reproduce themselves. These reproductive processes extend to the symbolic structures of the lifeworld. We must differentiate between the preservation of the material substrate of the lifeworld.
>Life world, >Substrate, >Media, >Society.
