<br/><br/> Originally presented as the author's thesis (doctoral--Pontifical Gregorian University, 2005). 
<br/><br/>What Austin Offers to This Thesis  --  A Biographical Sketch of Jürgen Habermas  --  Habermass Method --  The Structure of Symbol and Sacrament --  The Symbolic Order which Mediates Reality --  Symbolic Exchange --  The Act of Symbolization --  Performative and Constative --  Salvation History as Communicative Action. 
<br/><br/> The 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. ~AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/How-Language-Ritual-Sacraments-Work/dp/8878390380/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9788878390386&qid=1599938002&sr=8-1
