La libertad como condiciĂłn de la justicia segĂşn Axel Honneth

2018 , Coronado-Angulo, Cecilia

En este trabajo se propone abordar la teoría institucional de la justicia de Axel Honneth como alternativa a las teorías de la justicia centradas en la libertad negativa o positiva. Para ello: 1. se analizará la narrativa y crítica de Honneth de la libertad negativa y la positiva. 2. se analizará su propuesta de la libertad social. 3. Se revisarán los alcances de dicha propuesta. Para concluir, se reparará en los límites que supone el que un modelo de libertad social sea el que oriente una teoría de la justicia.

Group Asylum, Sovereignty, and the Ethics of Care

2020 , LĂłpez-Farjeat, Luis Xavier , Coronado-Angulo, Cecilia

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.

Instrumental Reason, Technology, and Society

2023 , Coronado-Angulo, Cecilia

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.
