Vor dem Hintergrund einer wissenssoziologischen Perspektive leuchtet der Debattenbeitrag die Stärken und Schwächen der von Hubert Knoblauch konzipierten Sozialtheorie aus, welche seiner Fassung des kommunikativen Konstruktivismus' zugrunde liegt. Der Fokus liegt zum einen auf der relationalen Konzeption des Sozialen und zum anderen auf der Rolle des Subjekts darin. Um das diagnostizierte Problem der Bestimmung eines 'dünnen' Subjekts zu lösen, formuliere ich einen Reparaturvorschlag, der zur tripolaren Dialektik von Berger und Luckmann zurückführt. Wie "offen" der kommunikative Konstruktivismus als akademische Bewegung tatsächlich zu verstehen ist, versuche ich abschließend über eine Planetenmetapher zu klären.... view less

In order to solve the diagnosed problem of determining a 'thin' subject, I propose a revision that leads back to the tripolar dialectical model of Berger and Luckmann. Using a planetary metaphor, I conclude by trying to clarify how "open" communicative constructivism as an academic movement can indeed be understood.... view less
