Jürgen Habermas on Internalisation - Dictionary of Arguments

IV 20/21
Internalisation/Mead/Habermas: Mead explains the following transition as internalisation, i.e. through the mechanism of an individual taking the attitude of the other:
1. Gestures are replaced by symbols whose meanings for the participants are identical.
2. The interpersonal relationship between speaker and addressee replaces a causal relationship between stimulus-reaction-stimulus.
3. The participants learn to distinguish between acts of communication and success-oriented actions.
>Success
, >Understanding, >Stimulus/Reaction, >Gestures, >Symbols.
Unlike in the case of a reflexive relationship, in which a subject bends back to itself to make itself an object of itself, the model of internalisation states that the subject finds itself in an exterior by taking in and appropriating what opposes it as an object. The structure of appropriation differs from that of reflection by the opposite sense of direction: the self does not refer to itself by making itself an object, but that it recognizes the relinquished subjective in the external object, the action schema or the relationship schema.
HabermasVsMead: these explanations remain attached to the model of the philosophy of consciousness. This model, which is based on an inner dialogue, can already be found in Augustine's work.(1)
>Philosophy of consciousness, >Self/Habermas, >Consciousness.
IV 22
Habermas: with this model the adoption of attitudes is only illuminated from one side: the intersubjective relationship of the interaction participants is only represented in the structure of the self-relation. (2)
Subjectivity: a higher-level subjectivity, on the other hand, is characterized by the fact that it can only behave indirectly towards itself, namely via the complex relationships with others. In this way, it maps the structure of the entire interaction.
