Jürgen Habermas on Cultural Tradition - Dictionary of Arguments
III 108 Tradition/Culture/Myth/Myths/Habermas: In mythical worldviews as the background for the interpretation of a lifeworld in a social group, the burden of interpretation is taken away from the individual family members as well as the chance to achieve a critical agreement. Here, the linguistic view of the world is reified as a world order and cannot be seen through as a critisable system of interpretation. >Worldviews, >Interpretation. In this way it becomes clear which formal characteristics cultural traditions must exhibit if rational orientations for action are to be possible in an appropriately interpreted environment: III 109 a) Cultural tradition must provide formal concepts for the objective, the social and the subjective world; it must allow for differentiated claims of validity (propositional truth, normative correctness, subjective truthfulness) and stimulate a corresponding differentiation of basic attitudes (objectifying, normative and expressive). >Validity claims, >Objective world, >Subjective world, >Social world. Then symbolic expressions can be presented at a formal level, where they are systematically linked to reasons and are accessible for an objective assessment. b) Cultural tradition must allow a reflexive relationship with itself. c) It must be able to feed back in its cognitive and evaluative components with specialised arguments to the extent that the corresponding learning processes can be socially institutionalised. d) Finally, it must interpret the world in such a way that success-oriented action is released from the imperatives of a communication to be renewed again and again and can be at least partially decoupled from communication-oriented action. >History, >Historiography, >Philosophy of History, >Culture._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
