The Struggle for Recognition: basis for an education for citizenship building?
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article aims to investigate if and how the theoretical instruments presented by Axel Honneth in Struggle for Recognition: the grammar of social conflicts may contribute to improve the educational process oriented to the construction of citizenship. This question highlights a privileged locus for teaching philosophy, particularly at the middle level, aimed at reinforcing values and references to life in society that guide students in the search for personal self-realization as citizens. At the regular education, it is suggested the adoption of pedagogical practices related to the learning of the three stages of recognition identified by Honneth (love, law and solidarity) and the development of their corresponding counterparts in social relations, such as self-confidence, self-respect and self-esteem.
