Abstract

This paper aims at discussing how the notion of public deliberation may help to overcome some of the problems faced by the theory of recognition. In order to do so, it investigates the struggle of people affected by Hansen’s disease, focusing in the recent financial compensation of those who have been compulsorily segregated. The paper concludes that a wide social deliberation regarding policies of recognition would foster epistemic and legitimacy gains, besides implementing the notion of a spiraling telos.
