A esfera pública e as lutas por reconhecimento: De Habermas a Honneth

Abstract

THIS PAPER AIMS AT EXAMINING THE PRINCIPLES THAT GROUND THE ANALYSIS OF THE PUBLIC SPHERE, ANALYSING ITS ELEMENTS AND DISCUSSING ITS LIMITS. TWO AREAS OF THE NORMATIVE PROJECT WILL BE TREATED: THE DEFINITION OF THE AUTONOMY OF THE SUBJECT AND THE ANALYSIS OF THE MECHANISMS THAT DESTRUCT THE PUBLIC SPHERE. CERTAIN ASPECTS AND RESULTS OF HABERMAS’ PROJECT OF TRANSLATING BOTH SOCIOLOGICALLY AND HISTORICALLY THE PRINCIPLES OF KANTIAN PHILOSOPHY BINDING THEM TO THE DIAGNOSIS OF THE CRITICAL THEORY OF THE “FRANKFURT SCHOOL” WILL ALSO BE PRESENTED.
