Habermas and the renewal of social-democracy

Abstract

This paper approaches the Habermasian renewal of Social-Democracy, grounded in the continuity of Welfare State and the centrality of democratic politics with respect to realization of social evolution, against neoliberalism. The basic argument of this paper consists that the recovery of social-democracy defines Habermas’s theoretical-political position in his defense of an emancipatory project of left and as a way to stop the sismantlement of Welfare State.
