Talcott Parsons on Norms - Dictionary of Arguments
Habermas IV 309 Norms/Parsons/Habermas: of course, the actor can have the same attitude towards values and norms as he/she does towards facts; but he/she would not even understand, Habermas IV 310 what values and standards mean if he/she could not adopt a conformist attitude towards them based on recognition of their claim to validity. Cf. >Values, >Validity claims. It is only in this attitude that the actor experiences the moral force that 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. >Freedom, >Action, >Freedom of will, >Autonomy. Habermas IV 314 Freedom of Choice/Parsons/Habermas: is characterized by moral fallibility for Parsons. >Morals. Solution/Parsons: normative standards receive the status of non-instrumentalizable value standards or end uses; corresponding value orientations can regulate the determination of purpose themselves. >Purposes._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
