The right to criticism in the democratic rule of law.
An analysis from Habermas’s deliberative democracy.
Abstract
The justification of the exercise of criticism as a fundamental right in every democratic order has attracted greater interest in recent times. The present work proposes to analyze this topic from the point of view of J. Habermas’s deliberative democracy, showing some of the similarities but also the conceptual differences with Critical Theory. The idea of this study is to identify the scope of the conceptual heritage of the Frankfurt School in Habermas’s deliberative politics, a connection that in this theory is always only implicit but not explicitly recognized as a condition of validity and democratic legitimacy of the political order.
