Introdução à teoria do reconhecimento de Axel Honneth

The article aims to introduce the fundamental concepts in the work of Axel Honneth. This means that it will not develop any specific thesis on the theory of the representative of the third generation of the Frankfurt School. The authors intention is, on the contrary, to present as clear as possible the central arguments of the critical theory of Axel Honneth in order to facilitate the reading of his work and the here published texts. Keywords: Recognition; Axel Honneth; Critical theory

Justificação, reconhecimento e justiça: Tecendo pontes entre Boltanski, Honneth e Walzer

Together with Laurent Thevenot, Luc Boltanski proposes that the assessment of social contributions occurs in a context where it is necessary that each participant claims, through justification, for the recognition of her/his place in the economies of worth, where a variety of evaluative criteria will be considered. The conception of this dispute around the justification has a reasonable proximity to the struggle for recognition of achievement (Leistung), that Axel Honneth defines as the third sphere in his theory of recognition; here, beyond the equality in the sphere of law, differences would be justifiably. Part of the discussion is if or how the horizons of values and purposes which enable for the assessment of the individual contribution are shared: in Boltanski they are clearly divergent and for Honneth apparently shared, while Michael Walzer assumes that values are shared, though emphasizing the need for a careful distinction of the spheres of justice to which values are referred to in each case. This distinction of spheres, apparently, can allow a bridge to the cities in the proposition of Boltanski and the spheres of recognition of Axel Honneth’s theory. In the text we propose to explore possible similarities and conceptional differences of these three propositions.

Discursos filosóficos do reconhecimento

This paper seeks to explore the trajectory and the development of the concept of recognition in recent debates. Having in view the complexity of this topic, our main purpose is the exploration of the concept’s polysemy. This task will be accomplished starting with the reconstruction of two contemporary debates: the first one between Taylor and Habermas and the second one between Fraser and Honneth, dialoging with Paul Ricouer’s recognition theory.

Combate à pobreza e participação: Duas faces dos fundos sociais locais

O livro analisado nesta resenha é fruto da pesquisa de doutorado realizada sob orientação de Luiz antónio machado da Silva no Instituto Universitário de Pesquisas do Rio de Janeiro (Iuperj) pelo, atualmente, professor catedrático e ex-decano da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade agostinho neto (Uan – Luanda – angola). Trata-se de uma daquelas raras pesquisas acadêmicas em que se conciliam uma profunda análise de teoria social aplicada a um problema prático. na verdade, ao contrário do que costuma acontecer em algumas teses de doutorado, a teoria social utilizada contribui, de fato, para esclarecer aspectos controvertidos da vida social, ajudando a desvelar sua lógica imanente, ao invés de complicar e confundir a análise dos dados. Ponto alto do trabalho é, sem dúvida, a pesquisa empírica. O livro nos brinda com mais de oitenta páginas de anexo, que permitem ao leitor acompanhar, controlar e reconstruir cada passo do estudo de caso realizado,
