George Herbert Mead on Norms - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 72 Norms/Mead/Habermas: Norms do not claim validity because they are linked to sanctions - otherwise they could not oblige the actors to be obedient, but only force docility. Open repression is, however Habermas IV 73 incompatible with the meaning of the validity of norms. >Coercion, >Validity claims. Solution/Mead/Habermas: Mead directly traces back norm validity to the sanction-free, i.e. moral authority of the "generalized other". Although this instance itself is to be created by internalising group sanctions, groups must first have constituted themselves as units capable of acting before sanctions can be imposed in their name. A collective consciousness or group identity must have developed. Mead: always analyses such processes with terms of personality development. DurkheimVsMead/Habermas: Durkheim, on the other hand, does not analyze religious belief and patriotism as out-of-the-ordinary attitudes of modern contemporaries, but as an expression of a collective consciousness deeply rooted in phylogenetic history that is constitutive for the identity of groups. >Religious belief._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
