| Ultimate justification: here we are concerned with the search for a justification of ethical norms or of measurement methods, which are proven to be no longer traceable. These are intended to enable the development of systems which cannot be rebutted as a whole, but against which only objections with regard to the internal structure can be put forward. This is intended to encourage collective work to improve generally accepted systems._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Jürgen Habermas on Ultimate Justification - Dictionary of Arguments
Rorty V 8 Foundation/final justification/RortyVsHabermas: I am distrustful of the remaining fundamentalism, striving for "universality." Habermas celebrates democracy, but he does not justify it. >Democracy, cf. >Constitution/Böckenförde. When HabermasVsFoucault raised the accusation of relativism and asked him to expose his "normative standards". >Relativism, >M. Foucault. Rorty: here I stand on the side of Foucault, who shrugs his shoulders and is silent. >Inner world/Habermas, >Language/Foucault. Rorty V 9 World/Language/RortyVsHabermas: VsClaim, that the world-developing (poetic) power of language (Heidegger, Foucault) must be subordinated to the practice of the inner world. Habermas IV 536 Ultimate Justification/Habermas: I call legal institutions legal norms which cannot be sufficiently legitimized by the positivist reference to procedures. For example, the foundations of constitutional law, the principles of criminal law and criminal procedure law. As soon as they are called into question, the reference to their legality is not sufficient. They require material justification because they belong to the legitimate orders of the lifeworld itself and, together with informal norms for action, form the background of communicative action. See Law/Habermas._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number. The corresponding books are indicated on the right hand side.
