Structured Openness

The study reconstructs major twentieth-century theories of language - Wittgenstein’s language games, Austin’s speech acts, Searle’s rule-based social ontology, and Habermas’s theory of communicative action - as distinct regimes of stabilization within the same S-space. Their disagreements are shown to arise from different abstraction strategies and different ways of managing openness, rather than from incompatible empirical claims.
