Subject: HAB: Habermas' conception of lifeworld [Matt}

Matt,
you wrote

[1.For meaningful communication (one mediated via symbols, in other words at 
a post-gestural/behavioural level) to take place successfully there must be 
a shared lifeworld of cultural meanings etc.

2. Meaningful communication does take place.

3.Therefore, there must be a lifeworld.]

I am happy you have put it in this way.

Two questions now to you in turn:

1) If this is the correct procedure then what is the difference between it 
and Kant's transcendental deduction?

2)Can you pinpoint a particular passage from Habermas to substantiate your 
logic above and if you can refer to any secondary source I would be 
grateful.

best ali
