Talcott Parsons on Reference Systems - Dictionary of Arguments

Habermas IV 355
Frame of reference/Parsons/Habermas: has the status of basic concepts and basic assumptions which, such as the protophysical framework of classical mechanics, that must not be confused with the empirical theories which can be established with their help. In this sense, the framework of reference for action theory should also constitute the subject area of the social sciences. However, Parsons had not introduced it as a theoretical model - it was by no means intended to represent the basic features abstracted from reality itself from an analytical point of view. Rather, analytical realism consists of an order of problem levels that establishes internal, non-empirical relationships between the categorial framework, empirical theories, scientific predictions/explanations and facts. This hierarchy does not break out of the linguistic universe of the scientific communication community.
