| Interest | Habermas | III 244 Interest/Habermas: Only values that are abstract and generalized to principles and values that can be internalized as formal principles and applied procedurally can cross situations and in extreme cases systematically penetrate all areas of life. >Values, >Generalization. In this context, the distinction between interests and values is relevant. Interest situations change, while generalized values always apply to more than one situation type. >Situations. HabermasVsUtilitarianism: This difference between values and interests was worked out in Neo-Kantianism. Utilitarianism does not take it into account. It makes the futile attempt to reinterpret interest orientations into ethical principles, to hypostasize procedural rationality itself into a value. >Utilitarianism, >Procedural rationality. See also >Max WeberVsUtilitarianism. |
