Talcott Parsons on Idealism - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 374 Idealism/Parsons/HabermasVsParsons/Habermas: there is a hidden idealism in Parson's system functionalism: this can already be seen in the structure of the cultural system. Instead of Max Weber's tripartite division into cognitive patterns of interpretation, moral-practical patterns of value and aesthetic-expressive patterns of expression, a fourth division is now required: constitutive symbolism, in other words religion. In Parson's late philosophy, the general system of action is reified as the "telic system". >Idealism, >Religion, Culture, >Culture/Parsons, >Society/Weber. Habermas IV 377 Parsons emphasizes the talk of a telic system presupposes the belief in a sphere of ultimate reality. Habermas IV 378 Method/HabermasVsParsons: Parsons takes the general action system as the starting point for a reflexively turned view of the system of the basic human constitution. >Action system/Parsons. However, the theorist thus loses a position independent of this subsystem. He cannot break out from the perspective of the action system. The theory becomes self-referential on the anthropological level. For this, Parsons has the model of Kant's critique of recognition in mind.(1) >Self-reference, >I. Kant. 1.T.
