Jürgen Habermas on Humboldt, Wilhelm von - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 190 Humboldt, W./Language/Culture/Habermas: if we assume, as is customary in the Humboldt tradition (1) an internal connection between structures of the lifeworld and structures of the linguistic world view, language and cultural tradition take on a transcendental position in relation to everything that can become part of a situation. Language and culture do not coincide with the formal world concepts with the help of which the communication participants jointly define their situation, nor do they appear to be something inner-worldly. >Lifeworld, >Worldviews, >Language/Habermas, >Tradition, >Culture, >W. von Humboldt. >Communicative action/Habermas, >Communication theory/Habermas, >Communication/Habermas, >Communicative practice/Habermas, >Communicative rationality/Habermas. Language and culture are constitutive for the lifeworld. The communication participants cannot take an extramundan position in relation to the language. The same applies to the cultural patterns of interpretation that are handed down in this language. >Perspective, >Interpretation, >External/Internal, >Point of View, >Description. 1.L.Weisgerber, Die Muttersprache im Aufbau unserer Kultur, Düsseldorf, 1957; R.
