Solution/Parsons: Parsons develops a voluntaristic concept of action and a normativistic concept of order.
>Norms, >Voluntarism.
Habermas IV 310
This moral compulsion, which is reflected in feelings of obligation as well as in the reactions of guilt and shame - a force that is not only compatible with the autonomy of action, but in a certain way even constitutes it; this force is no longer perceived as external violence but from within by penetrating the motives.
>Coercion, >Responsibility, >Duties.
Habermas IV 314
Freedom of Choice/Parsons/Habermas: is characterized by moral fallibility for Parsons.
