La libertad como condición de la justicia según axel honneth

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to claim that Axel Honneth’s institutional theory of justice is an alternative to theories of justice focused on a negative or a positive account of freedom. For this purpose I shall analyze 1) Honneth’s critic to the negative and positive account of freedom; 2) Honneth’s own theory of social freedom and evaluate 3) the scope of his account in order to identify the limits of this model of justice.
