Honneth: a reatualização da filosofia social de Hegel a partir da esfera do amor

Abstract

Honneth, conceives Hegel's system as a process to be updated, since his theory is intrinsic to the Hegelian philosophical system formulated in his epistemological break with modern philosophy. Honneth discusses three fundamental questions in his reading of Hegel's Philosophy of Law that helped us to understand how to think about two concepts, recognition and Love and the interconnection between these concepts themselves and how each of the philosophers developed. Honneth re-updates Hegel's social and political philosophy, engendering the internal logic of the Hegelian dialectical system. Recognition for Honneth is not exactly culture or identity, but must be understood as a reciprocal expectation of behaviors that mutually form the intersubjective conditions for the realization of individual freedom. Honneth seeks to converge the theoretical perspectives of understanding intersubjective relationships in a non-unidimensional way of analyzing subjective relationships as being able to preserve the affirmation of recognizing in the other. The main argument for updating the Hegelian system aims to rebuild the theory of recognition with an intersubjective demand for a new social philosophy presenting Love as the first pattern of recognition responsible not only for selfconfidence, but as a condition of possibility for a future participation of the sphere publicity and freedom and thus realize itself while fighting for emancipation from the suffering of indetermination. Diagnosis of experiences of disrespect identifying social pathologies that obstruct the emancipation of subjects. Therefore, the idea of thinking about subjective relationships based on action and its practical interactions, and only on the reciprocal expectation of these behaviors, in the way of social action in contemporary society. Thus, the dimension of Love becomes effective in the world as an autonomy as an action of intersubjective recognition.
