Since reading your question, I am now actually "reading" The Theory of Communicative Action, Vol 2. Habermas, for me, was the beginning of a long thread which I began pulling at least 20 years ago, in pursuit of a PhD, in Urban & Public Administration; upon descovering him, I immediately acquired some 25 volumes by, and, secondarily, about Habermas. Each volume had references and footnotes, which I also pursued; hence into phenomenology, then into hemeneutics, to semiotics, Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre and to existentialism in the whole (e.g. Kierkegaard, Nietzsche + various novelists Camus, et al. and play-wrights Shakespeare). Your question spurred me to pull out The Theory of Communicative Action, Vol 2 and the wordd "Lifeworld" (a very Husserlian hook) in the title meant that I must read this more throughly. What, specifically causes you to appeal for an "interpretation"
