Beyond distribution Honneth's ethical theory of justice.

Além da distribuição A teoria ética da justiça de Honneth. (Portuguese)

In this paper, the author considers the critique that Axel Honneth has formulated against the distributive model of justice for which Rawls is one of the most important theoretical representatives today. After having outlined the three main limits of the "distributive paradigm" (in terms of proceduralism, atomism, and state-centrism), he then discusses Honneth's counter-model of justice. Honneth's "ethical" theory of justice consists in a "normative recognition" of the "institutions of recognition" that allows individuals to experience certain forms of "social freedom" based on mutual recognition. As a conclusion, the author deals with some of the difficulties associated with Honneth's "ethical" theory of justice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Neste artigo, o autor considera a crítica que Axel Honneth formulou contra o modelo de justiça distributiva do qual Rawls é hoje um dos mais importantes representantes teóricos. Depois de ter delineado os três principais limites do "paradigma distributivo" (em termos de procedimentalismo, atomismo e estado-centrismo), o texto discute então o contra-modelo de teoria da justiça de Honneth. A teoria "ética" da justiça de Honneth consiste num "reconhecimento normativo" das "instituições de reconhecimento", que permitem aos indivíduos experimentarem certas formas de "liberdade social" baseada no reconhecimento recíproco. Como conclusão, o autor trata de algumas das dificuldades associadas com a teoria "ética" da justiça de Honneth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
