George Herbert Mead on Meaning - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 23 Meaning/Mead/Habermas: in the interaction through gestures, the gesture of the first organism gains a meaning for a second organism that reacts to it: this reaction expresses that one is interpreting the gesture of the other. If the first organism "takes the attitude of the other" and, by doing its gesture, already anticipates the reaction of the other and thus its interpretation, its own gesture gains for it the same, if not yet the same meaning that it has for the other. (1) According to Mead, the same meaning is achieved through internalisation. (See Internalisation/Mead). Habermas IV 24 HabermasVsMead: more convincing is a Darwinian approach: that the pressure to adapt exposes a premium to increased reaction speed. Habermas IV 25 Description levels/Habermas: that interaction participants interpret the same stimulus in a consistent way is a fact that exists per se, but not for them ((s) the interaction participants). ((s) See Exterior/interior/Maturana, Descriptions/Maturana). 1. G. H. Mead, Mind, Self and Society (Ed) Ch. W.
