Talcott Parsons on Communicative Action - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 384 Communicative action/Parsons/Habermas: The structures of linguistically generated inter-subjectivity, which underlie the common possession of a culture as well as the social validity of norms, must be reduced by Parsons to mechanisms such as exchange and organization, which ensure the cohesion of a system beyond the minds of the actors. An example of this reduction is the idea of intersystemic exchange relationships and the introduction of communication media that regulate this exchange. With these two means of construction, the system-theoretical art of reformulation penetrates the inner districts of the theory of communicative action. Parsons wants to trace the integration achievements of linguistic communication itself back to exchange mechanisms that undermine the structures of linguistic inter-subjectivity and thus finally pull in the distinction between social and subsystems. >Intersubjectivity, >Systems/Parsons, >Subsystems/Parsons._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
