A encruzilhada do reconhecimento no direito natural do Fichte de Jena

política e representação da alteridade

Faustino Oncina

This article deals with Fichte’s concept of “recognition” in its multiple dimensions and implications. The present exposition firstly aims at highlighting the link between mutual interaction and intersubjectivity, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the intrinsic relationship between recognition as criterion for otherness and the faculty (or power) for identifying the presence of freedom in the sensible world. From the perspective of recognition I then proceed to a revision of main concepts of social and political life such as: customs and values, rights and duties, aspirations and abilities and action and property. I will argue that “recognition” is not only a fundamental concept of the Doctrine of Knowledge, but also a concept by means of which a constructive criticism of contemporary philosophy and political and economic crisis can be exerted.
