| Communicative rationality: Jürgen Habermas defines communicative rationality as the ability to reach consensus through understanding-oriented communication. It is based on argumentation, reciprocity and the validity of truth, correctness and truthfulness claims. The aim is a rational discourse based on mutual agreement rather than strategic action. See also communication theory, communicative action._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.
