description The objective of this brief essay is to provide a conceptual framework capable of presenting the ideological-reflexive character of the theory of justice and consequently of rawlsian neocontractualism. In this sense, we we try to demonstrate that Rawls’ work constituted a frontline trench in the battle of ideas, as a way of reconstructing liberal-bourgeois civil hegemony in the last quarter of the 20th century. It was an offensive of the political economy of capital against that of labor, which opened a counter-reform process, dressed up in a garland of flowers. This process constructed a new type of liberalism – social liberalism – which in large measure has been responsible for the solidity of the consensus surrounding liberal democracy. Even in the midst of a structural crisis of capital it has demonstrated impressive vitality.

The objective of this brief essay is to provide a conceptual framework capable of presenting the ideological-reflexive character of the theory of justice and consequently of rawlsian neocontractualism.

Objetiva-se com este breve ensaio expor o quadro-conceitual capaz de apresentar o caráter ideo-reflexivo da teoria da justiça e, consequentemente, do neocontratualismo rawlsiano. Neste sentido, buscar-se-á demonstrar que a obra rawlsiana caracteriza-se por ser uma trincheira avançada, na batalha das idéias, como forma de reconstrução da hegemonia civil liberal-burguesa no último quartel do século XX. Trata-se de uma ofensiva da economia política do capital contra a do trabalho, a partir da qual abriu-se um processo contra-reformista – vestido de guirlanda de flores – que foi capaz de arquitetar a repropositura de um novo tipo de liberalismo – social-liberalismo –, que em larga medida, tem sido responsável pela solidez do consenso criado acerca da democracia liberal e mesmo em um processo de crise estrutural do capital, tem demonstrado impressionante vitalidade. 2012-06-30 2022-03-17T18:04:08Z 2022-03-17T18:04:08Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/18535 10.23925/ls.v0i28.18535 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/49800 por https://revistas.pucsp.br/index.php/ls/article/view/18535/13723 application/pdf Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo Lutas Sociais; n. 28 (2012): Marxismo(s): prismas e lutas; 33-44 2526-3706 1415-854X 10.23925/ls.v0i28
