RESUMO
In this dissertation, I analyze political theory currents which claim that political and social individual actions rely on individuals rationality. From this perspective, I present the dispute between a proceduralist understanding of justice and a concept of proceduralist ethics which rests upon the existence of cultural community of values. Then, I discuss Habermas theoretical shift in his moving from taking language as a means of social interaction to taking law as such means, and show that the shift brings up a new aspect of his theory, since he understands that judicialization in post-traditional societies forms a dynamic parameter which orients individual actions towards solidary bonds. Next, I present the debate between liberalism and communitarianism, highlighting the analytical strengths of Charles Taylors hermeneutical thoughts on the formation of ethical values that guide the formation of modernity. I reject Taylors excessive culturalism when he builds his anthropological understanding of human nature. Through the epistemological analysis of the normative case study methodology I investigate Jessé Souzas interpretation on how inequalities have gone through a naturalization process in Brazil. My objective is to problematize his Bourdieuian interpretation of social relationships, considering that it remains too tied to an instrumental rationality. I claim that Axel Honneths work remains an analytical alternative to such Bourdieuian interpretation, and claim that the base for social interaction and emancipation rely on reciprocal recognition relations structured on formal ethics.
