| Verstehen (Sociology) | Habermas | IV 183 Verstehen/Weber/Habermas: (WeberVsPositivism SimmelVsPositivism) Habermas: The lifeworld term common in Verstehen follows everyday concepts, which initially only serve the narrative representation of historical events and social conditions. >G. Simmel, >M. Weber. HabermasVsVerstehen: The investigation of the functions that communicative action takes over for the preservation of a structurally differentiated life world is detached from this horizon. Solution/Habermas: methodical differentiation of system and environment. >System, >Lifeworld. IV 223 Verstehen/Habermas: when a "Verstehen" allows society to merge into the lifeworld, it binds itself to the perspective of the self-interpretation of the culture examined in each case; this internal perspective hides everything that (...) has an effect from the outside. A) In particular, approaches based on a culturalist concept of the lifeworld become entangled in the misconceptions of "hermeneutic idealism" (this term originates from A. Wellmer). >Hermeneutics. B) Its downside is a methodical descriptivism that denies itself justified claims with regard to explainability. (1) C) This applies above all to the phenomenological, linguistic and ethnomethodological variants of Verstehen, which generally do not go beyond the reformulations of a more or less trivial everyday knowledge.
