| Resumo: | The present article intends to analyze some of the main works of Seyla Benhabib and to verify how the evolution of her thought helped in the debate and understanding about gender, as well as the way in which her studies are more capable of contributing to a more egalitarian society (especially when we analyze the issue from the point of view of social minorities). Through a bibliographic analysis of the author's works, it was noticed that this changes its position over the years of research and studies, presenting an evolution in the concepts and their practical fit in democratic societies. In the eighties, she perceived her perception of a reconstruction of the Habermasian model, using the figure of a contextualized subject. In the nineties, she started to comment on the subject who seeks her inclusion along the lines of liberal democracies, without renouncing her cultural identity. From the two thousand years onwards, it seeks to analyze the “rights of others” that occupy a globalized world, but would be subject to some of its own territorial logics. After considering these arguments, the author's fundamental contributions to the gender debate are pointed out, especially when she deals with the insertion of vulnerable minorities in a society that is considered as democratic. |
