Talcott Parsons on Cultural Values - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 339 Cultural values/Parsons/Habermas: Parson's strict concept of the "system" does not apply to cultural tradition. He understands this rather in the sense of a "grammatically" regulated context. For him, this is at best a "system" in the sense of structuralism from Saussure to Lévi-Strauss: it is about the order of internal relationships between components of meaning, not about the functional relationships between empirical components of an organized whole and the associated problem of border preservation. (1) Habermas IV 340 As soon as cultural values are linked to interests or motives through incorporation into action systems, they change their status: they become functioning components of empirically identifiable action systems. Values belong to the sphere of validity and acquire an empirical status by relating them to facts. Parsons equips socio-cultural reality with systemic characteristics.(2) >Culture, >Cultural transmission. 1. Talcott Parsons, The Social System, NY 1951, p. 15 2.
