Jürgen Habermas on Justification - Dictionary of Arguments
III 67 Justification/rationals/Habermas: justification can only be explained by the conditions for discursive honoring of claims. Because descriptive, normative, evaluative, explicative, expressive statements differ in form, semantic analyses draw attention to the fact that the meaning of justification changes in a specific way with the form of the statement. The justification of descriptive statements means the proof of the existence of facts; of normative statements the proof of the acceptability of actions or norms of action; of evaluative statements the proof of the preferenceability of values; of expressive statements the proof of the transparency of self-portrayals; of explicative statements the proof that symbolic expressions have been literally generated. Validity claims: the meaning of the correspondingly differentiated validity claims can then be explained in such a way that one specifies the argumentation-logical conditions under which such proof can be made in each case._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
