Preferred term

communicative rationality  

Definition

  • Communicative rationality characterizes a particular logic of interaction among individual (or collective) actors that is determined by argumentative processes. This differs from cases in which payoff structures constrain the strategic calculations of actors (e.g., trade negotiations) or situations where actors unquestioningly adhere to social norms.
