Jürgen Habermas on Cultural Values - Dictionary of Arguments
III 71 Cultural values/Habermas: Cultural values are not universal. They are limited to the horizon of the lifeworld of a certain culture. For this reason, the critique of value standards presupposes a common understanding of the argumentation participants, which is not available for disposition, but at the same time constitutes and limits the scope of the thematic claims to validity. (1) >Cultural tradition, >Lifeworld, >Validity claims. III 133 Cultural values/Habermas: we do not associate cultural values with a claim to normative validity, but values are candidates for embodiment in norms; they can attain general obligations with regard to a matter in need of regulation. >Norms, >Values, >Cultural relativism, cf. >Generality. In the light of cultural values, the needs of an individual also appear plausible to other individuals who are in the same tradition. However, needs are transformed into legitimate motives for action only by the fact that the corresponding values become normatively binding for a group of affected persons in the regulation of problem situations. 1.Vgl.
