Descrição
Resumo:The aim of this paper is to show that the deliberative ideal of reciprocity, introduced by Rawls in his writings on political liberalism to define matters of basic justice, it is not conceptually feasible in the theoretical framework of Habermas’s deliberative democracy. The reason offered as foundation, argues that this ideal not only involves one strategic use of rationality, which discredits the intersubjective and public procedure of rational deliberation for the foundation of decisions and norms that establishes the concept of deliberative politics of the German philosopher, but it also contradicts the principle of argumentative discourse, which defines the conditions of validity of the decisions adopted in a such procedure because it ensures his epistemic value.
