Pragmática trascendental y ontología social. Acerca de la determinación lingüística de las acciones humanas

Abstract

It is shown in this paper that it is not possible to identify a meaningful action, i.e., a properly human action, without presupposing inevitably both a real and ideal community of communication. It will be developed here systematically a fundamental idea of transcendental pragmatics consisting of language as meaning’s constitutive. For this purpose, after a brief explanation of the background Apel’s transcendental meaning critic (I), it will proceed to develop the concept of life-world, as this proposal is adopted in transcendental pragmatics (II). After a review of the way it seems to be understood the meaning in Schütz, it will arrive at the need to consider actions, while not explicitly as language, with a form similar to it (III).Finally we draw some conclusions (IV).
