" "Legitimation as a process is best described as a 'second-order' objectivation of meaning. Legitimation produces new meanings that serve to integrate the meanings already attached to disparate institutional processes.

Man is biologically predestined to construct and to inhabit a world with others. This world becomes for him the dominant and definite reality.

In this same dialectic man produces reality and thereby produces himself.
