Developing the concept of ideal speech situations Habermas delineates
these three viewpoints on argumentative speech which we further
develop to organize our findings in this section. The “three aspects”
(Habermas, 1984a:25) do not directly map onto the indices in Table 1,
nor do they necessarily relate to one passage of the scenario planning
exercise. The perspectives cut across both and serve to draw-out particular
challenges to legitimacy by looking at the whole from different angles
as they form separate analytic resources for interpreting discourse.
