Max Weber on Interpretation - Dictionary of Arguments

Habermas III 153
Interpretation/Action/Weber/Habermas: the interpreter of an action only needs to determine "how the action would have proceeded if all circumstances and intentions of the co-interested parties had been known and if the means had been chosen in a strictly procedural rational manner, based on what we consider to be valid experience.(1)
>Contrafactual conditional/Weber
.
Habermas: the more clearly an action corresponds to the procedural rational course of events, the less further psychological considerations are needed to explain it.
>Purpose rationality, >Observation, >Actions, >Rationality.
Habermas III 154
An action can be interpreted as more or less instrumentally rational. By proposing a rational interpretation, the interpreter himself takes a standpoint on the claim with which procedural rational actions occur; he himself leaves the attitude of a third person in favour of the attitude of one involved, which examines and, if necessary, criticizes a problematic claim of validity.
>Validity claims, >Critique.
