SUMMARY:

The aim of this dissertation aims to present a critique of Axel Honneth’s theory of freedom,
which is developed in his work Freedom’s Right: The Social Foundations of Democratic Life.
Unlike other models of freedom, such as negative freedom and moral freedom, Honneth,
through the use of the method of normative reconstruction, defends the idea that the realization
of freedom, that is, its process of normative experimentation, is a linked to the model of social
freedom. Such defense, in general terms, occurs for two reasons: the first is because social
freedom is the social precondition of human action; the second reason is because the social
ethos of social freedom, which is Democratic Ethical Life, attests that we are free because they
and they are involved in a series of institutionalized social spheres whose normative task is
internal to social recognition and individual freedom of each individual. This interpretation of
human freedom suggested by the German philosopher, however, presents two problems: the
first problem is that Honneh’s reading of the functioning of the Normative Reconstruction
method leads to the fact that the normadeja sediment of the socidica spheres has an idealist
perspective; as a result, the second problem arises because the author disregards that
Democratic Ethical Life is an instance of social life that produces and reproduces social
injustices, that is, that engenders forms of Social Pathologies. The hypothesis that might solve
these problems, and that I will defend, is the following: the cooperative cultivation of social
freedom can be better developed from the nexus between education and social philosophy,
where the first element helps in the experimentation of the purpose of the second element, which
is the democratic realization of the good life.
