Jürgen Habermas on Interaction - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 21 Interaction/Habermas: the model of interaction is superior to that of internalisation: the model of internalisation, described by H. G. Mead, S. Freud and J. Piaget, 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, G.H.: 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) IV 22 Against this: Interaction/Habermas: 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. The more complex the attitudes of a counterpart are, which the interaction participants "take into their own experience", the more what the interaction participants, initially thus the organisms, (...) create, shifts from the level of species-specific innate instinct regulations to the level of an communicatively created inter-subjectivity condensed in the medium of linguistic symbols, which is ultimately secured by cultural tradition. HabermasVsMead: the operations of this mechanism start at all components of the interaction system: the participants of the interaction, their utterances and the regulators of the coordination of action. IV 25 Description levels/Habermas: that interaction participants interpret the same stimulus in a consistent way is a fact that exists per se, but not for them ((s) the interaction participants). ((s) See Exterior/interior/Maturana, Descriptions/Maturana). IV 27 Interaction/Mead: the second organism encounters the first as an interpreter of its own behaviour, i.e. under a modified concept. It brings forth its gesture with communicative intent. HabermasVsMead: Mead does not sufficiently distinguish between the two categories of settings that one takes over from the other: a) the reaction of the other to the own gesture, b) the addressing of a gesture to an interpreter. IV 28 a) Here the interaction participants learn to internalize an excerpt from the objective sense structure to such an extent that both can combine identical interpretations with the same gesture. b) Here they learn what it means to use a gesture with communicative intent and to enter into a reciprocal relationship speaker/listener. c) Thirdly, the attribution of an identical and no longer only congruent meaning of gestures is added. >Synonymy/Habermas. 1.Cf.
