Descripción
Sumario:The critical-theoretical model of Axel Honneth presents the conflict as the force that drives social development. Starting from this premise, this paper seeks to explain the genesis of social conflicts from Honneth´s point of view, demonstrating the centrality of patterns of inner subjective recognition - the love, duty and solidarity - in the formal conception of eticity - or formal conception of good life - which leads to social theory of normative content erected by Honneth. Therefore, we seek clues to the author’s assessment of the contribution to Critical Theory - especially emphasizing his called frankfurtian heritage, which has Jünger Habermas as the main interlocutor - as well as a reflection about the conception of emancipation that underlies his theory.
