Talcott Parsons on Individualism - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 427 Individualism/Parsons/Habermas: Def Institutionalised Individualism/Parsons: two complementary intertwined patterns of social integration and socialization. The training Habermas IV 428 of postconventional ego identities (see Moral/Kohlberg) corresponds to the universalization of law and moral, the division of moral into legality and moral, and the release of communicative action from increasingly abstract normative contexts. This pattern is therefore characterized at the same time by extended scopes for alternatives and by ties to generalized memberships.(1) >Customs/Morality, >I, Ego, Self, >Individuals, >Law, >Communicative action. 1.
