Social freedom, Justice, Normativity, Hegel, HonnethAbstract
In this article I intend to present Honneth’s approach to social freedom in Hegel from the point of view of ethical life. The research focuses on Hegel’s Philosophy of Right and Honneth’s Freedom’s Right as two main pillars of analysis. At first, I outline some elements of social freedom as a third type of freedom thought of as an alternative to negative and reflective models; in a second moment, I propose methodological contributions to social freedom from the normative reconstruction in opposition to the “Kantian versions of justice”; in a third moment, I present a proposal of “normative-conceptual components” of Hegel’s social freedom from the Honnethian approach. In my analysis there are three fundamental components: the ontological assumption of co-subjectivity; the fabric of social processes of mutual recognition; the institutional component of ethical life. The central thesis this reconstruction is that the individual only experiences his complete and full freedom in social relations within just institutions. Without this, freedom suffers from a deficit of ethical life.
