Acceptability Habermas III 400/401
Acceptability/communicative action/Habermas: a speech act should be called "acceptable" if it fulfils the conditions so that a listener can say "yes". These conditions cannot be fulfilled unilaterally, neither speaker nor listener relative. Rather, they are conditions for the intersubjective recognition of a linguistic claim, which constitutes a content-specified agreement on liabilities that are relevant for the consequences of the interaction. >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act.
Within the theory of communicative action we start from the special case that the speaker literally means his statements. I call this case the standard conditions.
>Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas,
>Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas,
>Communicative rationality/Habermas.
III 406
A speaker can rationally motivate a listener to accept if, due to an internal connection between validity, validity claim and redemption of the validity claim, he/she can guarantee to give convincing reasons, if necessary, which stand up to criticism of the validity claim. The binding force of illocutionary success does not then stem from the validity of what has been said, but from the coordination effect of the guarantee it offers to redeem the validity claim if necessary. This applies in cases where there is no claim to power but a validity claim.

Agreement Habermas III 386
Understanding/agreement/Habermas: in the context of an action theory, understanding cannot be characterized by psychological terms. >Actions/Habermas, >Action Systems/Habermas, >Action theory/Habermas.
It is also not about empirically characterized behavioral dispositions but about the capturing of general structures of communication processes from which conditions of participation can be derived.
It is not about the predicates that an observer uses when writing communication processes, but about the pre-theoretical knowledge of competent speakers who themselves can intuitively distinguish when they interact with others and when they communicate with them. The speakers also know when communication attempts fail. It is about finding standards for these distinctions.
Although communication is considered to have come about through language, those involved can also feel one in a way that makes it difficult to ascribe a propositional content. Such a collective equality of opinion does not fulfil the conditions of a communicative agreement. Thanks to its linguistic structure, understanding cannot be induced solely by external influence; it must be accepted as valid by those involved. In this respect, understanding differs from mere factual agreement.
III 387
An agreement achieved through communication has a rational basis. It cannot be imposed by success-calculated influence. Agreement may be objectively enforced, but what comes evidently about through external influence or violence cannot subjectively count as agreement. Agreement is based on common convictions. All those involved base their decisions on potential reasons. Without reference to language or the model of speech, communication cannot be analysed. However, language and communication do not relate to each other like means and purposes. But we can only explain the concept of communication if we state what it means to use sentences with communicative intent.
>Language/Habermas, >Language use, >Intention, >Intentionality.
III 394
Since acts of speech are not always teleological, it must be possible to clarify the structures of linguistic communication even without reference to structures of the purpose activity. >Purposes, >Procedural rationality.
What we mean by understanding must be clarified solely on the basis of illocutionary acts - acts that are dealt with but do not always have an effect.
>Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act
((s) This makes it possible to speak at all of attempts of communication, even if they fail.)
III 412
Understanding/communicative action/Habermas: if the listener accepts an offer of a speech act, an agreement can be reached between a subject capable of speaking and a subject capable of acting. However, this is not based solely on the intersubjective recognition of a single...
III 413
...thematically highlighted claim to validity. >Intersubjectivity.
Rather, agreement is achieved simultaneously at three levels: via a) an act of speaking correctly in the normative context, b) a true statement, c) a truly expressed opinion, intention, feeling or conviction.
>Norms, >Truthfulness.

Assertions Habermas IV 102
Assertions/Statement/Habermas: for a sentence like "This ball is red" there is no meaning-preserving sentence in a non-assertoric mode. There is an asymmetry: the semantic content of any illocutionary or expressive part of a speech act can be expressed by a descriptive sentence - but not by sentences of another mode. >Content, >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act
This asymmetry explains why we learn the linguistic expressions that are constitutive for illocutionary or expressive elements in such a way that we can use them simultaneously in the attitudes of the first and third person.

Communicative Action Habermas III 128
Communicative action/Habermas: the concept refers to the interaction of at least two subjects capable of speech and action who enter into an interpersonal relationship (by linguistic or non-linguistic means). The actors seek an understanding to coordinate their plans and thus their actions. Language is given a prominent status here. >Agreement, >Language/Habermas.
III 143
Problem: there is a danger that social action will be reduced to the interpretive performance of the communication participants, action will be adapted to speech, interaction to conversation. In fact, however, linguistic communication is only the mechanism of action coordination, which brings together the action plans and activities of the ones involved.
III 157
In communicative action, the outcome of the interaction itself is dependent on whether the participants can agree among themselves on an intersubjectively valid assessment of their world-relationships. >World/thinking, >Reality.
III 158
Interpretation: Problem: for the understanding of communicative actions we have to separate questions of meaning and validity. The interpretation performance of an observer differs from the coordination efforts of the participants. The observer does not seek a consensus interpretation. But perhaps only the functions differed here, not the structures of interpretation. >Observation, >Method, >Interpretation, >Practice.
III 385
Communicative Action/Habermas: here the participants are not primarily oriented towards their own success; they pursue their individual goals on the condition that they can coordinate their action plans on the basis of common situation definitions. In this respect, the negotiation of situation definitions is an essential component. >Situations.
III 395
Communicative Action/Speech Acts/Perlocution/Illocution/Habermas: Strawson has shown that a speaker achieves his/her illocutionary goal that the listener understands what is being said without revealing his/her perlocutionary goal. This gives perlocutions the asymmetric character of covert strategic actions in which at least one of the participants behaves strategically, while deceiving other participants that he/she does not meet the conditions under which normally illocutionary goals can only be achieved. >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act
Therefore, perlocutions are not suitable for the analysis of coordination of actions, which are to be explained by illocutionary binding effects.
This problem is solved if we understand communicative action as interaction in which all participants coordinate their individual action plans and pursue their illocutionary goals without reservation.
III 396
Only such interactions are communicative actions in which all participants pursue illocutionary goals. Otherwise they fall under strategic action.
III 397
HabermasVsAustin: he has tended to identify speech acts with acts of communication, i.e. the linguistically mediated interactions.
III 400
Definition Understanding/Communication/Habermas: in the context of our theory of communicative action we limit ourselves to acts of speech under standard conditions, i.e. we assume that a speaker means nothing else than the literal meaning of what he/she says. >Meaning/Intending.
Understanding a sentence is then defined as knowing what makes that sentence acceptable.
>Understanding.
III 457
Communicative action/Rationalization/HabermasVsWeber/Habermas: only if we differentiate between communicative and success-oriented action in "social action" can the communicative rationalization of everyday actions and the formation of subsystems for procedural rational economic and administrative action be understood as complementary development. Although both reflect the institutional embodiment of rationality complexes, in another respect they are opposite tendencies.
IV 223
Communicative Actions/HabermasVsSystem theory/Habermas: Communicative actions succeed only in the light of cultural traditions - this is what ensures the integration of society, and not systemic mechanisms that are deprived of the intuitive knowledge of their relatives. >Cultural tradition, >Culture.

Strawson: Lies are no correct use of the language.

Holiness Habermas IV 136
Holiness/Socialisation/Language/Habermas: in the grammatical speech the illocutionary elements are combined with the propositional and expressive elements in such a way that illocutionary forces are connected with all speech acts. This makes it clear to oneself what it means when the sacred institutions not only guide, preform and prejudice through processes of understanding, but also through the intersubjective recognition of the claims to validity raised by acts of speech. The acts of speech thus gain an independent illocutionary force independent of existing normative contexts. The authority of the holy behind the institutions no longer applies per se. Rather, it becomes dependent on the justification achievements of the religious world views. Cultural knowledge takes over functions of coordinating action by entering into the interpretation of the situation (...). >Communicative action, >Actions/Habermas, >Action Systems/Habermas, >Action theory/Habermas, >Validity claims,
>Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act

>Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas,

>Communicative rationality/Habermas, >Institutions.

Illocutionary Acts Habermas III 375
Illocutionary Acts/Illocutionary Power/Habermas: Thesis: the illocutionary role of utterances should not be contrasted as an irrational power with the propositional component justifying the validity.
III 376
Illocutionary Act/Habermas: indicates what claim of validity (truth, correctness or truthfulness) a speaker raises, how he/she raises it and for what he/she raises it. >Validity claims, >Truth, >Correctness, >Truthfulness.
Illocutionary force: with it a speaker can motivate a listener to accept his speech act offer and thus enter into a rational motivated relationship. This concept presupposes that subjects capable of speaking and acting can refer to more than one world and that, by communicating with one another about something in one world, they base their communication on a commonly implied system of worlds.
>Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas,
>Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas,
>Communicative rationality/Habermas.
III 394
Illocutionary success is achieved at the level of interpersonal relationships, where communication participants communicate with each other about something in the world. In this sense, they are nothing inner-worldly, but extramundane, unlike perlocutionary effects that can be described as states in the world. >Perlocutionary acts.
IV 114
Illocutionary Acts/Habermas: ironically, the binding effect of illocutionary forces comes about because the interaction participants can say "no" to offers of speech acts. The critical nature of this saying-no distinguishes such an opinion from a reaction based on mere arbitrariness. The listener can (...) be bound because he/she is not allowed to reject them arbitrarily, but only deny them, i.e. reject them with reasons. >Justification, >Reasons, >Rationality.

Inner World Habermas III 131/132
Inner world/Action/Habermas: strategically acting subjects must be cognitively equipped in such a way that not only physical objects but also decision-making systems can occur in the world for them. They need to expand their conceptual apparatus for what may be the case, but they do not need richer ontological premises. With the complexity of the inner world entities, the concept of the objective world itself does not become more complex. >Objectivity, >World, >External world, >Complexity, >Reality.
III 376
Inner World/Habermas: Thesis: for the purposes of our sociological investigations we should differentiate the outer world into an objective and a social world and introduce the inner world as a complementary concept to this outer world. The corresponding claims of validity (truth, correctness, truthfulness) can serve as a guideline for the choice of theoretical aspects for the classification of the speech acts. >Validity claims, >Truth, >Correctness, >Truthfulness,
>Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act

Habermas IV 41
Language/Habermas: we have to choose between a) Language as a medium of communication and
b) Language as a medium for the coordination of action and socialization of individuals
between them.
IV 42
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, so to speak, linguistically permeated, i.e. symbolically structured. >Identity/Henrich, >Institutions.
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. >Cultural tradition/Habermas, >Background/Habermas, >Competence,
>Capabilities.
The signal language develops into a grammatical speech, as the medium of communication simultaneously moves away from the symbolically structured self of the interaction participants and the society condensed into normative reality.
>Signal language.
IV 100
Language/medium/socialization/Habermas: Speech acts are only a suitable medium of social reproduction if they can simultaneously assume the functions of tradition, social integration and socialization of individuals. >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act
They can only do this if the propositional, illocutionary and expressive elements are integrated into a grammatical unit in each individual speech action in such a way that the semantic content does not break down into segments but can be freely converted between the components.
>Content, >Semantic content.
IV 135
Religion/Holy/Language/Habermas: in the grammatical speech the propositional elements are combined with the illocutionary and expressive elements in such a way that the semantic content can fluctuate between them. Everything that can be said can also be represented as a statement. This makes it clear to oneself what a connection of religious world views to communicative action means. The background knowledge goes into the situation definitions (...). >Religion/Habermas, >Holiness/Durkheim.
Since the semantic contents of sacred and profane origin fluctuate freely in the medium of language, there is a fusion of meanings: the moral-practical and expressive contents are combined with the cognitive-instrumental in the form of cultural knowledge. This is a) as cultural knowledge - b) as a basis for instrumental action. This latter makes religion a world view that demands totality.
>Background/Habermas.
IV 273
Language/media/control media/communication media/Habermas: the conversion from language to control media (money, power (influence, reputation)) means a decoupling of the interaction from lifeworld contexts (see Lifeworld/Habermas). Media such as money and power begin with the empirically motivated ties; they code a purpose-rational handling of calculable amounts of value and enable a generalized strategic influence on the decisions of other interaction participants, bypassing linguistic consensus-building processes.
>Control media, >Communication media.

Meaning Habermas III 412
Def Meaning/Communicative Action/Habermas: within our theory of communicative action, the meaning of an elementary expression consists in the contribution it makes to the meaning of an acceptable speech action. And to understand what a speaker wants to say with such an act, the listener must know the conditions under which he can be accepted. >Acceptability/Habermas, >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act
In this respect, the understanding of an elementary expression already goes beyond the minimal meaning of the expression "understanding".

Meaning Theory Wiggins Avramides I 26 f
Meaning Theory/Wiggins: layer model of meaning theory: 1st level: isolates what was said literally - in terms of >truth conditions, level of the sense, > formal theories (Frege, Davidson etc. >"Semantics").
2nd level: >assertive force; use theories, >"pragmatics".
Further levels: >perlocutionary effects, >conversational implicatures.

McDowell/Avramides: (McDowell 1998) can be seen as a further development of Wiggins' approach:
1. theory of sense: interacts with theory of force.
One way: we start with the core theory, (theory of sense; central concept: truth). Then we develop the theory of force as a supplement.
Another way: we start with a picture of the whole containing sense and force and then work our way to the core.
Avramides: Question: whether a theory on the first (Wiggin's) level can be worked out in isolation.

McDowell: development of Wiggins theories -
1st Theory of sense
2nd Theory of force - force, because we have to pay attention to the speaker.

1. From Herder to Nietzsche to Heidegger and Gehlen, the "ability to say no" has been repeatedly emphasized as an anthropological monopoly. This insight is also the basis of Popper and Adorno's criticist thesis in different versions that reliable knowledge can only be gained through the negation of statements. Negation/Adorno, Falsification/Popper.

Perlocutionary Acts
Perlocutionary Acts Habermas III 394
Perlocutionary Acts/Habermas: perlocutionary effects can be described as states in the world brought about by intervention. Illocutionary success, on the other hand, is achieved at the level of interpersonal relations at which communication participants communicate with each other about something in the world. In this sense, they are nothing inner-worldly, but extramundane. >Speech acts/Strawson, >P.F. Strawson.
>Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas,
>Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas,
>Communicative rationality/Habermas
III 395
Strawson has shown that a speaker achieves his illocutionary goal that the listener understands what he/she is saying without revealing his/her perlocutionary goal. This gives perlocutions the asymmetric character of covert strategic actions in which at least one of the participants behaves strategically, while deceiving other participants that he/she does not meet the conditions under which normally illocutionary goals can only be achieved. Cf. >Meaning/intending/Grice, >P. Grice.
Therefore, perlocutions are not suitable for the analysis of coordination of actions, which are to be explained by illocutionary binding effects.
>Actions/Habermas, >Action Systems/Habermas, >Action theory/Habermas.
This problem is solved if we understand communicative action as interaction in which all participants coordinate their individual action plans and pursue their illocutionary goals without reservation.

Possible Worlds Habermas III 376
Possible Worlds/Habermas: Illocutionary power: with it a speaker can motivate a listener to accept his speech act offer and thus enter into a rational motivated relationship. >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act, >Assertive force.
This concept presupposes that subjects capable of speaking and acting can refer to more than one world and that, by communicating with one another about something in one world, they base their communication on a commonly implied system of worlds.
>Possible worlds, cf. >Semantics of possible worlds.

Propositional Content Tugendhat I 74
Propositional content/Tugendhat: E.g. that which "he is coming", "he is coming!", "if only he were coming", "is he coming?" have in common. >Propositions, >Meaning, >Translation.
Understanding: always has the structure of yes/no statements about the propositional content.
>Understanding.
No propositional content is: e.g. "hurrah", "thank you", "good day".
I 241
Propositional content/Searle/Tugendhat: Searle does not use "p" for assertoric proposition at all, but for propositional content! (Tugendhat: as I have used [p]). - Whoever uses "p" according to Searle wants to say that the fact (SV) that p really exists. >Facts/Searle, >Statements, >John Searle.
TugendhatVsSearle: it is unclear what Sac becomes.
>Assertions, cf. >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act.
I 290
Propositional content/Tugendhat. = asserted. Propositional content has no truth conditions. - Propositional content is not the proposition.

Religion Habermas III 281
Religion/Habermas: World religions develop only in advanced civilizations, i.e. within the framework of state-organized societies, where new forms of production and corresponding forms of economic exploitation emerge that are independent of the kinship system.(1) Cf. >Myth/Habermas, >Magical Thinking.

IV 135
Religion/Holy/Language/Habermas: in the grammatical speech the propositional elements are combined with the illocutionary and expressive elements in such a way that the semantic content can fluctuate between them. Everything that can be said can also be represented as a statement. This makes it clear to oneself what a connection of religious world views to communicative action means. >Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas,
>Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas,
>Communicative rationality/Habermas, >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act
The background knowledge goes into the situation definitions (...).
>Background.
Since the semantic contents of sacred and profane origin fluctuate freely in the medium of language, there is a fusion of meanings: the moral-practical and expressive contents are combined with the cognitive-instrumental in the form of cultural knowledge. This is
a) as cultural knowledge
b) as a basis for instrumental action. This latter makes religion a world view that demands totality.
>Language/Habermas, >Worldviews.

Sanctions Parsons Habermas IV 415
Sanctions/action theory/validity claims/Parsons/HabermasVsParsons/Habermas: Parsons does not take into account, and he cannot take into account in his action theory, that the concept of sanctions cannot be applied to yes/no statements on criticisable validity claims. The strategy pairs incentive/deterrence and belief/admonition differ: in one case ego is solely oriented towards the consequences of his actions, in the other case he has to talk to alter and inform or convince him about the existence of facts.
Habermas IV 416
In the first case it is about success-oriented action, in the second case about communication-oriented action. Cf. >Illocutionary Acts, >Perlocutionary Acts.
Habermas: under conditions of sanctioning, the actor cannot take his/her own yes to a validity claim (consent to an assertion, recommendation, etc.) seriously. The sanction scheme can only include modes of interaction that require empirical efforts to continue an interaction.
Fpr a solution see Sanctions/Habermas.

Socialization Habermas Habermas IV 65
Socialization/Subjectivity/Mead/Habermas: Mead explains the formation of identity from the process of socialization of the growing child in such a way that it learns to follow norms of action and to assume ever more roles. The adolescent can only refer to something in the social world with a communicative act when...
Habermas V 66
...he/she knows how to adopt a norm-compliant attitude and how to orient actions towards normative claims of validity. >G.H. Mead, >Adolescence/Mead, >Developmental Stages/Psychology.
IV 136
Socialization/Language/Habermas: in the grammatical speech, the illocutionary elements are combined with the propositional and expressive elements in such a way that illocutionary forces are connected with all acts of speech. >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act
This makes it clear what it means when the sacred institutions not only guide, preform and prejudge through processes of understanding, but also through the intersubjective recognition of the claims to validity raised by acts of speech. The acts of speech thus gain an independent illocutionary force independent of existing normative contexts. The authority of the holy behind the institutions no longer applies per se. Rather, it becomes dependent on the justification achievements of the religious world views. Cultural knowledge takes over functions of coordinating action by entering into the interpretation of the situation (...).
>Worldviews, >Religion/Habermas.
IV 143
As language establishes itself as a principle of socialization, the conditions of sociality converge with conditions of communicatively established intersubjectivity. Since the authority of the holy is transformed into the binding power of normative claims to validity, which can only be discursively redeemed, the notion of the validity that has to be achieved is purified from empirical admixtures. In the end, the validity of a norm only means that it could be accepted by all those concerned for good reasons. >Norms, >Validity claims.

VsRedundancy Theory (p = "it is true that p").
>Redundancy theory.

Speech Act/Austin:
Def lokutionary act: enunciation - E.g. you give an example of the meaningful sentence "the bull is going".
perlocutionary: effect by using the statement - E.g. warning with this sentence. >Perlocutionary acts.
illocutionary: you frighten the listener. >Illocutionary acts.
III 245
In addition: fulfilling conditions as a "plus" to the statement: the warranty given by the speaker -> Brandom, >Score keeping.

Speech act theory -VsLogical Positivism: more than just the two functions a) description of reality,
b) expression of emotions
Speech acts belong to neither of these two categories. >Positivism.

Speech Act Theory Foucault II 115ff
Speech act/Foucault: the illocutionary act is not that, what has been processed before the moment of the statement itself. There is more than one statement to make a "speech act": E.g. oath, request, contract, promise, demonstration. >Illocutionary act.
Foucault: This is about series.

Statement: a statement cannot have its own character, it is inappropriate for an adequate definition.

Sign: means "existence of signs" that must exist. What does it mean "there are" signs?

Language/Discourse/Foucault: is never given in itself and in its totality. If there were no statements, the language did not exist. But no statement is essential for the language to exist. It exists only as a construction system for possible statements. On the other hand, it exists only as a description of how to get real statements from a set.
Language and statement are not on the same level of existence. One cannot say that there are statements, as one says, that there is language.

Speech Act Theory Searle II 25
Sincerity condition: the sincerity condition is internal to the speech acts. ---
Husted IV 251
Speech act/Searle: speech acts are rule-determined actions. They always have constitutive (not regulatory) rules. Searle: the speech act is key to the meaning. VsSearle: this is controversial because language rules for e.g. singular term have a fundamentally different nature than for actions.
J. Husted "Searle" in: Hügli/Lübke (Hrsg) Philosophie im 20. Jahrhundert, Reinbek, 1993S. 251
---
V 68
The speech act is an unequal game. An explanation must presuppose rules. Rules are not equal. Convention: speaking rules are governed by behavior. For rules, behavior is not crucial.
>Language game, >Convention.
V 207
Traditional Speech Act Theory/Austin/Strawson/Hare: the word W is needed to perform speech act A, then e.g. "good" recommends, "true" reaffirms, "knowledge" guarantees something. SearleVs: this only works with performative verbs such as "promise" but not with judgmental ones. This does not satisfy the adequacy condition for semantic analysis: a word must mean in all grammatically different sentences the same; it cannot, if the meaning is supposed to be the execution of various acts.
V 213
Wrong: to assume that the conditions for the execution of a speech act follow from the meanings of the words ( "fallacy of assertiveness"). ---
IV 27
Speech Act Theory/SearleVsAustin: Austin accepts verbs for acts but one has to differentiate this, e.g. the announcement of a command is not the command.
IV 78
Speech Act Theory/Searle: the speech act theory differs from other philosophical approaches in that it gives no set of logically necessary and sufficient conditions for the explicable phenomenon (e.g. linguistics: structural rules). >Structural rules.
IV 86
The illocutionary act is the function of the meaning of the sentence.
IV 86
Fiction/speech acts/Searle: fiction has no other speech acts but is a predetermined act, e.g. in literature it is no other act than in the newspaper. No semantic or syntactic property proves a text as fictional.
IV 204
Speech Act TheoryVsChomsky, VsRules, instead of semantics/pragmatics. ---
VII 99
Speech Act/proposition/Searle: difference: from the propositional content does not follow that the assertion conditions are satisfied - the proposition rather implies that the speaker implies within the act that they are satisfied. ---
VIII 435
Speech Act/Searle: the speech act is hold together by the semantic intentions of the speaker. VsChomsky: Chomsky does not see the essential connection of meaning and speech acts.

Speech Act Theory Tugendhat ~ passim
TugendhatVsSpeech Act Theory.

TugendhatVsSpeech Acts: unsatisfactory, assumed modes, because they are just like propositional content abstract moments of sentences that we can hardly believe. - Because they are moments and not components, they are also not independent.
I 239

Truthfulness Habermas III 42
Truthfulness/Habermas: in many situations an actor has good reasons to hide his experiences from others or to deceive the interaction partner about his "true" experiences. Then he/she does not claim to be truthful, at best he/she simulates it by acting strategically. Such statements cannot be objectively criticized because of their untruthfulness, but rather because of their intended success. >Success, >Truth, >Expressions,
>Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act

Validity Claims Parsons Habermas IV 415
Validity Claims/Parsons/HabermasVsParsons/Habermas: Parsons does not take into account, and he cannot take into account in his theory of action, that the concept of sanctions cannot be applied to yes/no statements on criticizable validity claims. The strategy pairs incentive/deterrence and belief/admonition differ: in one case ego is solely oriented towards the consequences of his actions, in the other case he has to talk to alter and inform or convince him about the existence of facts.
Habermas IV 416
In the first case it is about success-oriented action, in the second case about communication-oriented action. >Illocutionary Acts, >Perlocutionary Acts.

Disputed term/author/ism Author Vs Author
Entry
Reference
Grice, P.H. Black Vs Grice, P.H. I 52
Max Black: Causal theory (also Stevenson, Morris) - BlackVsIntentionality theories (Grice, Searle, Strawson?).
I 58
BlackVsGrice: The conditions of Grice are neither necessary nor sufficient. a) Not sufficient: there are situations in which it is not true that someone "says that...", although the conditions are met, b) not necessary: ​​someone says something, although the conditions are not met.
I 60
The whole theory becomes suspicious when it is so complicated.
I 65
BlackVsGrice: he must constantly make modifications (negative conjunctions or corresponding positive disjunctions). This defensive strategy is too flexible on the one hand, while being too rigid on the other hand. (Sticking to the intended effect).
I 67
BlackVsGrice: Insufficient: 1) His reference to standard effects - 2) his confidence that the speaker’s intention brings about such effects.
I 68
BlackVsGrice: Every concrete manifestation usually has numerous effects. One would have to be "semantically relevant". The one that is necessary and sufficient to be communicated successfully. ((s) VsBlack: this is trivial and does not explain what is going on in successful communication or what is meant by an utterance).
I 70
BlackVsGrice: a belief of the listener or a prop. att. induced in the listener are apparently perlocutionary. They are of practical importance, but irrelevant for a philosophical analysis of the concept of communication or the derived concept of speaker meaning.
I 74
This applies mutatis mutandis also to the imperative case. When I have understood the request, my role as a listener and interpreter ends!. BlackVsGrice: he does not discuss how according to the principles of the basic model it can be expected of the listener that he discovers the speaker meaning. E.g. a beggar in a foreign country gestures to me that he is hungry.
I 76
BlackVsGrice: no interposition of "discovering". - (The theory must cover as many cases as possible.) BlackVsGrice Thesis: not detecting the speaker’s intention to elicit an effect in the listener allows the listener to determine the meaning, but rather the reverse: the discovery of the speaker meaning allows the listener to infer the speaker’s intention.

Grice, P.H. Searle Vs Grice, P.H. Bennett I 186
SearleVsGrice: Convention not the same as circumstances!
Grice I 31
Searle E.g. An American Soldier in World War II is captured by Italian troops. He wants to believe the Italians do it was a German officer and expresses the single German sentence which he has kept from school yet, "Kennst du das Land, wo die Zitronen blühn?" ((s) Do you know the land where the lemon trees bloom?, Goethe). - His captors do not understand any German at all.  Searle: It would nevertheless be wrong to say that he meant by "Do you know the land...": "I ​​am a German officer."
SearleVsGrice: wants to show with by this example that something missing in Grice s explication: H should recognize that the uttered sentence is expressed conventionally to bring about a certain effect.

Searle II 204
Grice : a speaker intends with an utterance, to achieve certain effects. SearleVsGrice: he then uses intention, wish and conviction unanalyzed.

Searle V 68
Meaning/Grice: connects meaning to intention and recognizing the intention.
V 69
SearleVsGrice: insufficient: 1., it is not determined to what extent the meaning depends on rules or conventions. 2. does not differentiate this definition between illocutionary and perlocutionary acts.
E.g. Searle. Lemons Example V 70 ... + ... An American soldier gets into Italian war captivity...

Ordinary Language Dummett Vs Ordinary Language Dummett (e) III 185
Oxford Philosophy/Dummett: strongest influence: by Ryle. RyleVsCarnap: false methodology VsHeidegger: Laughing stock - Ryle: influence of Husserl.
III (e) 196
Particularism/Utility Theory/Oxford/Dummett: supposedly, the UT could only explain each sentence. The philosopher should not want to discover a pattern where there is none. DummettVs: we do not learn language sentence by sentence, either!
However, right: It is the sentences and not the words which have a "use" in the general sense.
III (e) 196/197
Everyday language: here the Oxford philosophy could not contribute anything (because of their anti systematic approach) to the better understanding of those principles on the basis of which we obviously learn the language so quickly. (> Chomsky). DummettVsOxford: continuously used psychological and semantic terms that a theory of meaning must not assume but explain! E.g. "Express an attitude" "reject a question", etc. (DummettVsAustin).
Likewise "truth" and "falsehood" were constantly used unexplained.
III (e) 198
DummettVsParticularism: disregarded the distinction semantic/pragmatic. Anyone who is not in the claws of theory would initially tend to distinguish what a sentence literally says from what one might try to communicate with it in special circumstances.
According to the "philosophy of everyday language" only the latter term is considered to be legitimate. "literal meaning" was considered an illegitimate byproduct.
III (e) 199
DummettVsOxford, DummettVsStrawson: artificially introduced new concepts such as "presupposition" or "conversation implicature" or DummettvsAustin: the distinction between "illocutionary" and "perlocutionary" acts (DummettVsSpeech act theory) took the place of the general semantic concepts, and without anyone noticing the "normal language" (everyday language) ceased to exist.
