Jürgen Habermas on Observation - Dictionary of Arguments
III 171 Observation/Ontology/Habermas: when we describe a behaviour as a teleological action, we assume that the actor makes certain ontological conditions, that he or she expects an objective world in which he or she recognizes something and in which he or she can intervene purposefully. >Behavior, >Goals, >Intentionality, >Interpretation, >Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas, >Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas, >Communicative rationality/Habermas. At the same time, the observer creates ontological conditions with regard to the subjective world of the actor. He or she distinguishes between "the" world and the world as it appears from the point of view of the actor. He or she can determine descriptively what the actor thinks is true, in contrast to what the observer believes is true. >External world/Habermas, >Internal world, >Other minds, >Conflicts, >Justification._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
