JURGEN HABERMAS: DEMOCRACY, INCLUSION OF THE OTHER AND CONSTITUTIONAL PATRIOTISM FROM THE ETHICS OF THE SPEECH

Abstract

This paper about Jurgen Habermas, discourse ethics deals with the connota-tions and exigencies for a democracy with political legitimacy and moral content for our society. Understanding that a radical democracy isn’t found only once and forever, far from that, it is the result of a communicational progress that allows conjugation different interests, where identity, the soli-darity, the inclusion of the other and the constitutional patriotism are present among other things, I mean, you can correct and recover the normative ideas of modern democracy by reducing the hegemony of the instrumental ratio-nalization.
