Niklas Luhmann on Rationality - Dictionary of Arguments
I 129f Def Rationality/Luhmann/Reese-Schäfer: the bid to respect the functional differentiations. This is ompletely different to Habermas. LuhmannVsHabermas: overall societal rationality can finally not exist in the generalization of what all the individual functional areas see as their rationality. For this purpose, there can be no privileged place, no responsible organization, so no 'constitution'. --- AU Kass 8 Rationality/Luhmann: question: how can rationality be understood under the realistic conditions of universal deceit at all? Tradition: Thesis: action and circumstances are both natural - also the criteria for correctness. AU Kass 8 Rationality/Habermas: distinction strategic/communicative rationality. LuhmannVsHabermas: the rationality should be the same rationality on both sides. Why are we talking about rationality then? But what is the common component? - Neither Habermas nor Weber say that. >Rationality/Habermas, >Rationality/Weber. Luhmann: Today: rationality of action: preferences - antonym: side-effects. >Action/Luhmann, >Action system/Luhmann, >Action theory._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
