Study Notes
Different Social Relations and their Corresponding Interactions: Jürgen Habermas
- Jürgen Habermas argues that society is made up of two important realms: a) the lifeworld and b) the realm of the legal systems and the different periods in history.
- There are various social relationships that vary in each period and era,
- Personal interactions are based on mutual regard, defined by cooperation rather than competition. The focus of personal relationships is the preservation of the individual.
- Transactional interactions are based on a goal, not necessarily for the other person. These interactions are often competitive and focus on objectives.
Market, State, and Lifeworld
- In Habermas's theory, society is composed of three spheres: 1) the economic system (the market), 2) the state, and 3) the lifeworld (everyday life).
- In actual societies, these spheres take the form of economic systems, political systems, and everyday life, (family, school, religious communities) and civil society.
- Relationships in each sphere are different, and individuals view each other based on their respective goals.
- In the market, relationships are transactional. This means people exchange goods and services based on need and efficiency, not out of feelings or emotions.
- In the state/political sphere, relationships are also transactional and are related to the maintenance of order and peace.
- In the lifeworld, relationships are typically personal and are based on communication and understanding.
Mechanical and Organic Solidarity: The Province and the City
Rural
- Rural communities often have traces of feudalism, which means collectivism is valued over individualism.
- Relationships are based on strong community bonds and shared traditions, like communal support for the bereaved.
- Mechanical solidarity, a type of solidarity where individuals are bound together by shared beliefs and traditions, is common.
- Community elders are highly respected within the social unit.
Urban
- Urban communities are more individualized and value contractual relationships over communal ones.
- Organic solidarity, a type of solidarity based on interdependence and specialized functions, is common in complex modern societies.
- The bonds of community are typically based on legal agreements, not communal ties.
Individualism vs. Collectivism
- Individualism emphasizes individual freedom and rights, and often prioritizes individual goals over group goals.
- Collectivism, in contrast, emphasizes group harmony and unity over individual needs.
