Jürgen Habermas on Society - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 42 Society/Institutions/Language/Habermas: The formation of identities and the emergence of institutions can be imagined in such a way that the extra-linguistic context of behavioral dispositions and behavioral schemas is to some extent linguistically pervaded, i.e. symbolically structured. >Institutions, >Symbols, >Language/Habermas, >Behavior, >Dispositions, >Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas, >Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas, >Communicative rationality/Habermas. IV 43 Language functions as a medium not of understanding and the transmission of cultural knowledge, but of socialisation and social integration. These processes do not sediment themselves, like communication processes, in cultural knowledge, but in the symbolic structures of self and society, in competencies and relationship patterns. IV 209 Def Society/Habermas: I call society the legitimate orders through which communication participants regulate their affiliation to social groups and thus ensure solidarity. Def Culture/Habermas: I call culture the inventory of knowledge from which the communication participants provide themselves with interpretations by communicating about something in a world. >Culture. Medium/Habermas: the interactions interwoven into the network of everyday communicative practice form the medium through which culture, society and person reproduce themselves. These reproductive processes are based on the symbolic structures of the lifeworld. We must differentiate between the preservation of the material substrate of the lifeworld. >Media, >Lifeworld_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
