Disrecognition, moral progress and "second order disorders" : on Axel Honneth’s new theory of recognition

Desreconhecimento, progresso moral e "desordens de segunda ordem" : sobre a nova teoria do reconhecimento de Axel Honneth

  • The subject matter of this article is Axel Honneth’s theory of recognition as it has been exposed in his more recent book, Das Recht der Freiheit. Throughout the paper his attempts to describe injustices within modern capitalist societies using the notions of pathologies and anomie will be analyzed and criticized, especially from the viewpoint of their inability to deal with processes and contexts of disrecognition (Aberkennung). With help of this category, Honneth’s diagnosis regarding the moral progress in modern societies, as well as his notion of second order disorders, as injustices will be confronted and, hopefully, complemented.
  • Este artigo visa tratar da teoria do reconhecimento de Axel Honneth conforme exposta em seu mais recete livro, Das Recht der Freiheit. Ao longo do texto serão analisadas e criticadas as tentativas deste autor de apreender as desigualdades presentes nas esferas de reconhecimento descritas por ele em sociedades modernas. O principal foco de atenção aqui é a incapacidade dos diagnósticos sobre patologias e anomias em descrever processos e contextos de desreconhecimento (Aberkennung). Através desta ideia, por fim, um complemento ao diagnóstico de Honneth acerca do progresso moral e das “desordens de segunda ordem” como injustiça será confrontado e, espera-se, complementado.
