Who is of the opinion that the life world is a micro world where people interact and communicate ?

  • A.Garfinkel
  • B.Habermas
  • C.Alexander
  • D.Giddens

Answer: B

This is the view of Habermas.

In The Theory of Communicative Action (1981), Jurgen Habermas describes the lifeworld as the everyday world of shared meanings in which people interact and reach understanding through communication. He contrasts it with the system of money and power, which he argues has 'colonised' the lifeworld.

Garfinkel studied everyday practices through ethnomethodology but did not build a theory of the lifeworld, Alexander is a neo-functionalist and Giddens a theorist of structuration.
