Abstract

Contemporary social theory has consistently emphasized habitual action, rule-following, and role-performing as key aspects of social life, yet the challenge remains of combining these aspects with the omnipresent phenomenon of self-reflective conduct. This article attempts to tackle this challenge by proposing useful distinctions that can facilitate further interdisciplinary research on self-reflection. To this end, I argue that we need a more sophisticated set of distinctions and categories in our understanding of habitual action. The analysis casts light on the idea that our contemporary social theories of self-reflection are not consistent with everyday notions of agential knowledgeability and accountability, and this conclusion indicates the need to reconceptualize discourse and subjectivity in non-eliminative terms. Ultimately, the assumption of self-reflective subjectivity turns out to be a theoretical necessity for the conceptualization of discursive participation and democratic choice.

论自我反思主体性的假设
当代社会理论一直强调习惯性行为、规则遵循和角色扮演是社会生活的关键方面,然而,将这些方面与无所不在的自我反思行为现象结合起来仍然是一个挑战。本文试图通过提出有用的区别来解决这一挑战,这些区别可以促进对自我反思的进一步跨学科研究。为此,我认为我们需要一套更复杂的区分和范畴来理解习惯行为。这一分析揭示了这样一种观点,即我们当代关于自我反思的社会理论与代理知识能力和责任的日常概念并不一致,这一结论表明,需要以非排除性的方式重新概念化话语和主体性。最终,自我反思的主体性假设成为话语参与和民主选择概念化的理论必然性。
