How Language, Ritual and Sacraments Work: According to John Austin, Jürgen Habermas and Louis-Marie ChauvetThe study draws on three principle authors: John Austin was a british philosopher who developed Speech Act theory, in which utterances are understood as actions rather than merely descriptions. Jurgen Habermas is a german philosopher-sociologist who developed Austin's ideas in his theory of communicative action. Habermas identifies himself as a neo-marxist but as the philosopher of discourse he has engaged with thinkers across the political and religious spectrum. |

Page 25 - When we examine what we should say when, what words we should use in what situations, we are looking again not merely at words (or "meanings," whatever they may be) but also at the realities we use the words to talk about: we are using a sharpened awareness of words to sharpen our perception of, though not as the final arbiter of, the phenomena.
