Instrumental Reason, Technology, and Society
(International Society for Universal Dialogue, 2023)
Technological development is accompanied by a paradox: while it often promises enormous benefits for humanity, it can also lead to inconceivable tragedy, including the instrumentalization of the individual, growing social inequality, environmental impact, etc. What causes this paradox? a) Could it be that the nature of technology generates this contradiction? b) Is it the agent that uses it? c) Or is it the circumstances in which technology is used that determine its suitability or disservice? My aim in this paper is to revise nature, causes and political explanations of the paradox. To do so, the first section will give a historical overview of this phenomenon, the second will assess three proposals that attempt to explain its origin, and, finally, the paper will weigh such approaches from the view of the Frankfurt School. Evaluating the paradoxical conditions that surround technology allows us to better understand its role in our societies.

Group Asylum, Sovereignty, and the Ethics of Care
(2020)
;
It is assumed that the states have the right to control their borders and decide whom they want to exclude, isolate, ban, or impose restrictions on. Although it seems that the problematic notion of “sovereignty” gives the state the right to make these kinds of decisions, there are situations where ethical duties to other human beings supersede sovereignty and where, in fact, those ethical duties limit sovereignty. This would be the case of group asylum situations. In this paper, we propose Axel Honneth’s ethics of recognition as a complement to the liberal notion of solidarity. By introducing a derivation of the ethics of recognition, namely, the “ethics of care,” we argue that our connection to others and the ethical duties we have with them impose some limits on the idea of sovereignty. © 2020 by the authors.

La libertad como condición de la justicia según Axel Honneth
(2018)
The aim of this paper is to claim that Axel Honneth's institutional theory of justice is an alternative to theories of justice focused on a negative or a positive account of freedom. For this purpose I shall analyze 1) Honneth's critic to the negative and positive account of freedom; 2) Honneth's own theory of social freedom and evaluate 3) the scope of his account in order to identify the limits of this model of justice.

Violencia y legitimidad : análisis crítico sobre “violencia sistémica” en Theodor Adorno y Max Horkheimer
(Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), 2025)
Systemic violence consists of aggressive treatment perpetually and subtly inflicted on individuals by individuals or groups. Such violence negatively affects the development of different social spheres. Since systemic violence is the result of rational planning, it is not perceived in its complexity either by those affected or by external agents. The purpose of the text is to discuss the reasons why this type of violence remains implicit. To this end, we will first discuss systemic violence and its types. In a second moment it will be argued that the reasons why this type of violence appears are due to the continued exercise of “instrumental reason” and “authoritarianism” (under the perspective of Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer). And, finally, it will be reviewed whether such analysis serves to understand the reasons for the occurrence of both types of systemic violence or only one of them. ©Author ©Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS)
