Isi artikel

This article develops a discursive-pragmatic concept from Mannheim's theory of generation, especially from his idea of generation as an actuality which emphazises the collective cognitive background or horizon of a generation. The author also discusses the emergence of such a cognitive background as dependent on a coincidence of different time perspectives, which are biographical, historical, and generational times. To explicate the discursive practice of generations the concepts of 'historical time' (Robinson), 'historical semantics' (Luhmann), and 'cultural circles' are introduced. The author works out an understanding of the 'problem of generation' that should lead to empirical investigations on this topic by using interpretive and reconstructive research methods.
