Jürgen Habermas on Truthfulness - Dictionary of Arguments
III 42 Truthfulness/Habermas: in many situations an actor has good reasons to hide his experiences from others or to deceive the interaction partner about his "true" experiences. Then he/she does not claim to be truthful, at best he/she simulates it by acting strategically. Such statements cannot be objectively criticized because of their untruthfulness, but rather because of their intended success. >Success, >Truth, >Expressions, >Speech acts, >Illocutionary act, >Perlocutionary act_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
