Abstract

One of the most prominent theses of transcendental – and universal pragmatics, a thesis which in a sense marks the difference between old and new transcendental-philosophy is that reason is necessarily bound to language and to communication in a communication-community, that one subject alone, a subject conceived as totally independent of a communication-community, is not capable of rational achievements. This thesis is in particular is a presupposition of discourse–ethics and its founding. – The essayis an attempt to give an argument for this thesis. The argument exploits above all the fact, that achievements of reason are essentially institutional facts i.e. facts constituted by rules and not natural facts only.
