Jürgen Habermas on Developmental Psychology - Dictionary of Arguments
IV 218 Developmental Psychology/logic of development/Habermas: we may only speak of a logic of development (...) if the structures of the historical life worlds within the scope defined by the form of interaction do not vary randomly, but in dependence on learning processes, i.e. in a directed way. A directed variation of life-world structures exists, for example, if the evolutionary significant changes can be brought under the aspect of a structural differentiation between culture, society and personality. >Culture, >Society, >Personality, >Lifeworld. And learning processes will have to be postulated for such a structural differentiation of the life world if it can be proven that this means an increase in rationality. >Learning, >Rationality._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
