The Dislocation of Ideas. Notes on Epistemic Closure and Reparative ListeninG
Note sulla chiusura epistemica e sull'ascolto riparativo
Abstract
In this paper I propose to analyze some recent shifts in Critical Theory on the occasion of contemporary debates about the question of the neo-coloniality of capitalist power. To this end, we 1) reconstruct the recent formulations of the theory of the externalization society and of the critique of the Eurocentric foundations of the idea of moral progress; then 2) interpret the essay on the updating of the idea of socialism proposed by Honneth in the light of the discussions on the new crisis of liberalism; and 3) analyze the epistemological and political obstacles behind his theoretical decisions. Finally, the paper concludes by formulating some questions about the problem of reading from the reality of Latin American societies.
