Science Studies is an interdisciplinary area of scholarship comprising two different traditions, the philosophical History and Philosophy of Science (HPS) and the sociological Science and Technology Studies (STS). The elementary tension between the two is based on their differing scholarly values, one based on philosophy, the other on sociology. This tension has been both animating the field of Science Studies and complicating its internal self-understanding. --This thesis sets out to reconstruct the main episodes in the history of Science Studies that have come to formulate competing constructions of the cultural value and meaning of science and technology. It tells a story of various failed efforts to resolve existing antimonies and suggests that the best way to grapple with the complexity of the issues at stake is to work towards establishing a common ground and dialogue between the rival disciplinary formations: HPS and STS. --First I examine two recent theories in Science Studies, Sociology of Scientific Knowledge (SSK) and Actor-Network Theory (ANT). Both of them are found to be inadequate as they share a distorted view of the HPS-STS divide and both try to colonise the sociology of science with the tools of HPS. The genesis of this colonizing impulse is then traced back to the Science Wars which again is underpinned by a lack of clarity about the HPS-STS relationship. This finding further highlights the responsibility of currently fashionable theories such as ANT that have contributed to this deficit of understanding and dialogue.
This same trend is then traced to the work of Thomas Kuhn. He is credited with moderate achievements but recent re-evaluations of his work point to his culpability in closing the field to critical possibilities, stifling the sociological side and giving rise to a distorted view of the HPS-STS relationship as seen in SSK and ANT. Now that the origins of the confused and politically divided state of Science Studies is understood, there is the urgent task of re-establishing a balance and dialogue between the HPS and the STS sides. --I use two important theoretical threads in critical theory of science and technology to bring clarity to the study of these interrelated yet culturally distinct practices. Firstly I look at the solid line of research established by Andrew Feenberg in the critical theory of technology that uses social constructivism to subvert the embedded values in the technical code and hence democratize technology. --Secondly I look at the work of Jürgen Habermas's formidable Critical Theory of science that sheds light on the basic human interests inside science and technology and establishes both the limits and extent to which social constructivism can be used to study them. --Together Feenberg and Habermas show the way forward for Science Studies, a way to establish a common ground that enables close scholarly dialogue between HPS and STS yet understands and maintains the critical difference between the philosophical and the sociological approaches that prevents them from being collapsed into one indistinguishable entity. Together they can restore the HPS-STS balance and through their shared emancipatory vision for society facilitate the bringing of science and technology into a democratic societal oversight, correcting the deficits and shortcomings of recent theories in the field of Science Studies.

Resumo: O tema da democracia constitui talvez o tema mais importante na obra do filósofo alemão Jürgen Habermas. No entanto, apesar da importância essencial de uma discussão vinculada diretamente aos seus aspectos normativos, pretendemos testar uma perspectiva complementar no estudo desta temática. Ora, é importante ressaltar que Habermas pensou a democracia não apenas a partir de suas possibilidades normativas de realização de ideais como os de autonomia e auto-determinação. Como um autêntico teórico crítico, ele também investigou as possibilidades concretas de institucionalização de formas democráticas de governo. A análise da relação tensa entre capitalismo e democracia é importante para refletir sobre os condicionamentos sistêmicos ou estruturais que o capitalismo impõe ao funcionamento dos regimes democráticos liberais. Ou seja, trata-se aqui de pensar a democracia a partir de suas possibilidades concretas de realização, o que pressupõe levar em conta os obstáculos impostos pelo capitalismo tardio. Desse modo, esta dissertação de mestrado tem como objetivo analisar as duas primeiras décadas da trajetória intelectual do filósofo alemão sob o prisma da relação entre capitalismo e democracia. Investigaremos como o tratamento dessa problemática surge a partir dos diagnósticos do capitalismo tardio produzidos pelo autor ao longo de diversas obras, culminando na sua Teoria da Ação Comunicativa (1981). Ademais, na trilha de Habermas, nos perguntaremos acerca do estado desta relação tensa no contexto do capitalismo contemporâneo, marcado pelo neoliberalismo, pela globalização e por crises
Abstract: The theme of democracy is perhaps the most important theme in the work of the German philosopher Jürgen Habermas. However, despite the essential importance of a discussion tied to its normative aspects, we intend to test a complementary perspective in the study of this issue. At present, it is important to emphasize that Habermas thought democracy not only from of their normative possibilities of realization of ideals, such as autonomy and self-determination. As an authentic critical theorist, he also investigated the concrete possibilities of institutionalization of democratic forms of government. The analysis of the tense relationship between capitalism and democracy is important to think about the systemic or structural constraints that capitalism imposes on the functioning of liberal democratic regimes. That is, we mean to think democracy from its concrete possibilities of realization, which requires taking into account the obstacles imposed by the late capitalism. Thus, this dissertation aims to analyze the first two decades of the intellectual history of the German philosopher from the perspective of the relationship between capitalism and democracy. We will investigate how the treatment of this topic emerges from the diagnoses of late capitalism produced by the author over several works, culminating in his Theory of Communicative Action (1981). Furthermore, on the steps of Habermas, we will ask about the status of this tense relationship in the context of contemporary capitalism, characterized by neoliberalism, globalization and crises

Texto completo
Dans une première partie, nous exposons les grandes lignes de la théorie de la reconnaissance de Honneth. Nous y développons successivement sa « morale de la reconnaissance », la conception normative de la justice sociale qui en découle, ainsi que la manière dont Honneth appréhende l'articulation entre reconnaissance et institutions. Nous nous intéressons ensuite, dans une deuxième partie, à l'institutionnalisme éthique de Hegel dans sa Philosophie du droit. Partant d'une lecture non-métaphysique de l'œuvre berlinoise, nous défendons la thèse interprétative d'un « institutionnalisme faible » chez Hegel par opposition à un « institutionnalisme fort ». Cet « institutionnalisme faible » stipule que les principales institutions du monde éthique moderne doivent pouvoir permettre à l'ensemble des agents individuels qui les composent d'atteindre, à travers leur participation à une série de relations intersubjectives fondées sur la réciprocité de leurs droits et de leurs obligations, des formes croissantes d'autonomie rationnelle (autonomie affective dans la famille, autonomie socioprofessionnelle et juridique dans la société civile, autonomie civile et politique au sein de l'Etat constitutionnel).
Au final, il ressort de la confrontation entre théorie de la reconnaissance et institutionnalisme hégélien dans sa version « faible » que, contrairement au reproche de « surinstitutionnalisation » adressé par Honneth, la philosophie hégélienne du droit se montre toujours d'actualité s'agissant 1) de penser conjointement les deux dimensions éthiques du système objectif des institutions et des relations intersubjectives de reconnaissance, 2) de définir une série de critères normatifs concernant une « bonne » forme de vie dans les institutions, voire même 3), malgré le caractère parfois historiquement daté de son analyse institutionnelle, de poser à terme un diagnostic critique sur l'évolution « pathologique » des sociétés modernes.

Esta tese se insere, ontológica e epistemologicamente, na perspectiva do realismo crítico. Nela propõe-se a reafirmação da dimensão ontológica da realidade (a qual Bhaskar chamou de intransitiva), bem como seus rebatimentos na dimensão epistemológica (ou transitiva da realidade) que trata da possibilidade do conhecimento e das condições para sua ocorrência. Este enquadramento fornece, no âmbito da teoria social, uma forma de tratar da ontologia social e a natureza das relações entre agência e estrutura, que situa a discussão sobre o processo de estruturação da ação coletiva e seu resultado, em termos de elaboração de uma “entidade” socialmente real. Partindo do estado da arte dos estudos sobre as organizações, bem como a teorização acerca da categoria “coletivos” dentro da literatura da teoria social realista, identificou-se uma dupla lacuna: (1) nos estudos sobre as organizações, verifica-se a ausência de coerência e cumulatividade dos conhecimentos do campo, que é marcado por uma profunda dispersão de teorias e correntes orientadas por distintas tradições de pesquisa, todas, porém, tendo em comum sua filiação ao paradigma filosófico científico do positivismo e (2) nem a teoria social em geral e nem a teoria social realista elaboraram um relato que fosse capaz de dar conta e integrar, coerente e adequadamente, a categoria organização à sua proposta de teorização da realidade, restando por se fazer um relato específico que buscasse atacar o problema da organização (grupos sociais estruturados), como sugere Elder-Vass (2010). Visando endereçar esforços para a melhor compreensão desta questão, o objetivo, então, desta tese foi identificar as estruturas gerativas e suas tendências (poderes causais), bem como as circunstâncias em que elas são ativadas (mecanismos causais), que permitem a existência e a emergência das organizações como entidades coletivas reais. Para a realização deste estudo, recorreu-se, metodologicamente, a uma pesquisa teórica (ECO, 2001, p.11), amparada por procedimentos analíticos de coleta e tratamento dos dados de caráter hermenêutico. Como resultados, identificou-se a existência de três estruturas gerativas – o espaço, a identidade e o poder –, envolvendo diferentes componentes que se manifestam sob diferentes modos de realidade (material, ideal e social, respectivamente), cujos processos de enquadramento e fixação, de identificação e diferenciação, e de delegação e representação (respectivamente) conduzem às interações entre os indivíduos e à aquisição de padrões específicos bem como à mudança estrutural, morfológica e causal, atribuindo diferentes poderes causais a cada um desses estágios: aproximação e agregação, no momento 1 (M1); criação de uma unidade (exterior e irredutível ao indivíduo) e coesão diferentes de outras entidades, no momento 2 (M2) e, por fim, a instauração de uma ordem e capacidade de intervenção deliberada na realidade social, em âmbito institucional, no momento 3 (M3). Os três momentos sintetizados estão relacionados por meio da proposição de um modelo teórico de análise morfogenética da estruturação da ação coletiva. Apesar de este modelo se aplicar especificamente à análise da ação coletiva e de não ter sido validado empiricamente, sua contribuição original reside no fato de fornecer a elaboração de um quadro teórico suficientemente amplo e, ao mesmo tempo, específico para a análise das organizações, em particular, e da ação coletiva, em geral, em especial quando acrescentamos sua interface com a orientação ontológica e epistemológica do realismo crítico. Empiricamente, esta proposta traz um relato preciso de integração dos níveis micro e macro da realidade, por meio da atuação específica das organizações e instituições no nível mesossocial, que poderá ser aplicado para intervenção na realidade.
This thesis falls, ontologically and epistemologically, in the perspective of critical realism. The later proposes the reclaiming of (the ontological dimension of) reality (which Bhaskar called intransitive one) and its repercussions on the epistemological dimension (or transitive one) of reality, which deals with the possibility of knowledge and the conditions for its occurrence. This framework provides, in social theory, one way to address the social ontology and the nature of the relationship between agency and structure, which places the discussion of the structuring process of collective action and its outcome in terms of developing an "entity" socially real. Based on the state of the art of studies on organizations as well as theories about the category "collectives" in the literature of social theory, and in particular in the realist social theory, we identified a double gap: (1) studies on organizations there is a lack of coherence and cumulative knowledge of the field, which is marked by a deep scattering theories and currents driven by distinct research traditions. Nevertheless, all these traditions have in common their affiliation to the philosophical paradigm of scientific positivism; (2) neither social theory in general nor realist social theory produced an integrative and coherent report to the organization category. Thus, it remains to be done a specific report that called for attacking the problem of organization (structured social groups), as suggested by Elder-Vass (2010). Aiming to address efforts to better understand this issue, then, the objective this thesis was to identify the generative structures and its trends (causal powers), as well as the circumstances under which they are activated (causal mechanisms) that enable the existence and emergence of organizations as real collective entities. Methodologically this study was conducted in a form of a theoretical research (ECO, 2001, p.11), which was supported by analytical procedures for the collection and processing of data hermeneutic character. As a result, we identified the existence of three generative structures: space, identity and power. These structures involves different components that are manifested in specific modes of reality (material, social and ideal, respectively), whose the process of framing and mounting, identification and differentiation, and delegation and representation (respectively) lead to interactions among individuals purchasing patterns and structural change, morphological and causal, assigning different causal powers of each of these stages: approximation and aggregation, which was called “moment 1” (M1); the creating an unit (exterior and irreducible to the individual) and cohesion of different entities, called “moment 2” (M2); and, finally, the establishment of a command and ability to deliberate intervention in social reality, at institutional, called “moment 3” (M3). The three summarized moments are related each one by proposing a theoretical framework of the structure of collective action in a morphogenetic way. Although this model applies specifically to the analysis of collective action and has not been empirically validated, its original contribution lies in the fact provide the development of a theoretical framework sufficiently broad and simultaneously specific for the analysis of organizations, in particular, and collective action, in general. This is true especially when we add its interface with the ontological and epistemological orientation of critical realism. Empirically, this proposal provides an accurate account of the integration of micro and macro levels of reality, through the realization of specific organizations and institutions in mesossocial level. The correct knowledge of this level can be applied to intervention in reality.

Texto completohowever, the main subject matter of an IR theory should be the change itself. The idea of change is also constitutive of Habermasian political thought. Jü
rgen Habermas, as a critical theorist, has developed the model of Deliberative Democracy to provoke a change in the political life of the Western countries towards a more ethical politics. According to Habermas, such a change will eliminate the legitimacy crisis occurred in Western democracies. Therefore, Habermas aims at strengthening the moral basis of democratic understanding in order to make masses participate actively in decision making processes. According to him, rational consensus must be at the centre of democracy, and it can be reached, only if every part of the deliberation has the opportunity to express their arguments equally. Once the idea of rational consensus becomes a regulative rule of democracy, it is possible to change the nature of politics, including international politics

Texto completoNationalism is quite easy to understand, but somewhat difficult to explain. In terms of understanding nationalism, we do not need to know anything more about society and sentiment than what is taken for granted in everyday life. An individual who ‘drops’ into a foreign culture may know absolutely nothing about its people’s songs, rituals, amusements and traditions: why some customs evoke tears, and others, bravado. This person would feel no sense of collective awe or inspiration when touring historic battlefields and monuments of an unfamiliar country. Nevertheless, he or she would likely understand and appreciate that all of these things are steeped in meaning and identity. These instances of meaning and identity may not be felt, shared or even fully known, but their role as expressions of nationalism can be readily appreciated. The global spread of nations entails an array of mutually unfamiliar national identities, but the actual phenomenon nationalism is rarely foreign to anyone. From an outsider’s perspective we do not know how certain expressions are significant to a particular group, but we do understand that they are expressions of national belonging. Explaining nationalism is more difficult for the simple reason that experiencing and recognizing a phenomenon is not sufficient to account for its existence. Customs and rituals are two suggested properties of nationalism, but what is the causal relationship between such properties and the end phenomenon (how does custom actually lead to nationalism, if at all)? The answers to these questions are still a matter of debate. The situation is only made worse by the fact that most theories explaining nationalism seem to rest on a tower of abstractions. For instance, it may seem uncontroversial for some to argue that nationalism is an outgrowth of ethnic identity. However, this just begs the question. What is ethnicity? The potential for regress to abstraction is a major impediment to theory. This thesis will examine the problem of explanation: the reasons why theories of nationalism have struggled with explaining nationalism, and a discussion on how to overcome these difficulties. Specifically, this thesis will show that: 1) The problem of explaining nationalism is due in part to the ‘classical’ problem found in the literature: whether nationalism is an ‘ancient’ social phenomenon, or a ‘modern’ phenomenon which can be dated (roughly) to the late eighteenth century. 2) Debates regarding the classical problem are closely affected by philosophical issues in the social sciences. 3) The incorporation of a consilient methodology (i.e. a research program that unifies theories of social science with theories of natural science) can provide a new strategy for future theories of nationalism and work to solve the classical problem.

Resumo: A filósofa política Nancy Fraser destaca-se enquanto importante expoente da Teoria Crítica contemporânea. Conhecida majoriamente por seu debate com Axel Honneth acerca da teoria do reconhecimento, suas formulações legaram importantes contribuições a, no mínimo, três campos do pensamento social: a teoria feminista, a sociologia política dos movimentos sociais e a filosofia da justiça. Visando uma reconstrução e sistematização crítica da evolução teórica da autora, este trabalho considera uma ampla gama de escritos datados de 1980 a 2012. No estudo de uma filósofa que sempre priorizou textos curtos e ensaios publicados em revistas políticas e acadêmicas a grandes sistematizações monográficas, identifica-se dois grandes modelos críticos em torno dos quais orbitam grande quantidade de diagnósticos de época, conceitos críticos e perspectivas emancipatórias. Para tratá-los, é utilizada uma classificação metodológica de sua produção em três blocos temáticos. O primeiro refere-se ao modelo para as "políticas de interpretação das necessidades", que mobiliza conceitos como discurso, democracia, hegemonia, esfera pública, cidadania e necessidade. O segundo trata das concepções teóricas e análises empíricas a respeito da subordinação feminina e das lutas feministas, que atravessam toda a produção da autora; destaca-se aqui o diálogo com as mais variadas correntes do pensamento: Escola de Frankfurt, pós-modernismo, pós-estruturalismo, pragmatismo, teoria do discurso. O terceiro bloco temático, enfim, contempla o modelo para uma teoria crítica da justiça, desenvolvido em estreita conexão com a práxis política dos movimentos sociais; aparecem aqui conceitos como participação paritária, reconhecimento, redistribuição, representação, transnacionalização e estrutura de governança. Não ignorando as oscilações temáticas e conceituais presentes ao longo do percurso filosófico de Fraser, a pesquisa busca compreender as contribuições originais e os inevitáveis limites verificados no pensamento social da autora, tencionando participar da teorização crítica das sociedades contemporâneas e contribuir para a compreensão e superação das injustiças nelas presentes
Abstract: The political philosopher Nancy Fraser is recognized as an important exponent of contemporary Critical Theory. Mainly known for the debate with Axel Honneth about the theory of recognition, her formulations give important contributions to at least three fields of social thought: the feminist theory, the political sociology of social movements and the philosophy of Justice. Aiming at a systematic reconstruction and critique of theoretical evolution of the author, it is considered here a wide range of writings dated from 1980 to 2012. In the study of a philosopher who always prioritized short texts and essays published in academic and political journals to large monographic systematizations, it is possible to identify two major critical models that lead to many diagnosis, critical concepts and emancipatory perspectives. To describe them, I use a methodological classification of her writings in three thematic blocks. The first one is about the "politics of needs interpretation" model, which mobilizes concepts such as discourse, democracy, hegemony, public sphere, citizenship and need. The second is about the theoretical concepts and empirical analyzes regarding the subordination of women and feminist struggles, which is visible through the entire production of the author; here, it is possible to highlight the dialogue among the various theoretic currents: Frankfurt School, post modernism, post structuralism, pragmatism, discourse theory. The third thematic block, finally, brings the model toward a Critical Theory of Justice, proposed in close connection with the political praxis of social movements; here are developed concepts as participatory parity, recognition, redistribution, representation, transnationalization and structure of governance. Considering the thematic and conceptual oscillations along Fraser's philosophical course, the research seeks to understand the original contributions and inevitable limits observed in her social thought, intending to participate in the critical theory of contemporary societies and to contribute to understanding and overcoming the injustices present in them

Texto completoThe conceptual link between education and society, forged in the 19th Century, is often taken for granted. This seemingly outdated connection, however, has guided reforms in secondary education in India and Germany throughout the second half of the 20th Century. This study attempts to understand this lag between underlying ideas and the reforms they framed by synthesizing a viable theory for imagining the connection between education and a complex society. Foundational approaches to society and education are brought into dialogue with post-colonial and critical theories. Universalistic assumptions are problematized, and an open-ended solution for theorizing new connections is presented. National educational reforms in India and Germany subsequent to their critical junctures of 1947/1945 are exhaustively and chronologically compared in order to conceptualize a generic character of historical-educational reproduction for each country and to facilitate a process of mutual learning. Finally, a solution to the problems associated with educational reproduction is presented. Education as a public good does not need to simply be reactive to social problems. Instead, it can be reconfigured so as to drive social change.

Resumo: partir de uma reconstrução de argumentos em três linhas distintas, analisarei, nessa dissertação, as soluções propostas ao dilema do trabalho familiar. A divisão sexual do trabalho, que atribui às mulheres as tarefas domésticas e de cuidados e aos homens as ocupações situadas na esfera pública, remuneradas e reconhecidas como contribuições relevantes à sociedade, torna-se ainda mais onerosa às mulheres a partir de sua entrada no mercado de trabalho ao longo das últimas décadas. Desse momento em diante, elas passam a realizar duplas jornadas, sendo sobrecarregadas, ao mesmo tempo, com o trabalho remunerado na esfera pública e a manutenção de sua responsabilidade quase exclusiva pelas atividades referentes ao lar e à família. Frente a esse problema, uma série de propostas foram realizadas no âmbito da teoria social e dos estudos de gênero, tendo por objetivo dar conta da necessidade de reconhecimento desse trabalho e, ao mesmo tempo, preocupadas com a busca de emancipação das mulheres. Nesse trabalho, reconstruo criticamente esses argumentos, analisando em que medida dão conta da necessidade de reconhecimento e, ao mesmo tempo, das demandas emancipatórias femininas. Em primeiro lugar, tratarei das propostas de feministas igualitárias, que defendem a remuneração desse trabalho. Em seguida, da visão contrária à remuneração, tanto no âmbito do feminismo quanto nas teses desenvolvidas por André Gorz em Metamorfoses do Trabalho (1988). Por fim, retomarei o que há de pertinente à questão no debate entre Nancy Fraser e Axel Honneth. O objetivo é extrair dessas contribuições os elementos relevantes para pensar a equidade de gêneros através da problemática do trabalho doméstico e da divisão sexual do trabalho
Abstract: In this dissertation, I intend to analyze the different solutions to the dilemma of family labor, enchaining arguments in three distinct lines. During the last decades, as women move into the labor market, they become specially burdened by a sexual division of labor that assigns domestic labor and care work to women and paid occupations in the public sphere, which are also recognized as relevant contributions to society, to men. As they start working in the public sphere while keeping the same responsibility as before over domestic labor and care work, women start working double shifts. Several theoretical proposals have been developed with respect to this problem, intending to afford the social recognition that is due to this work and keeping a strong concern for women¿s struggle for emancipation. In this work, I reconstruct those arguments critically and analyze whether they constitute effective solutions to the problem that conciliate the struggle for recognition of family labor as a relevant contribution to society and the claims for women¿s emancipation. In the first chapter, I debate the proposals by equalitarian feminists, who defend the payment of this work. In the second chapter, I evaluate the opposing perspective using both feminist contributions and the ideas developed by André Gorz (1988) with respect to the topic. Lastly, I carry out an incursion in the relevant points brought up in the debate between Nancy Fraser and Axel Honneth (2003). My intention is to extract from these contributions the pertinent elements to a reflection on gender equity through the issue of family work and the sexual division of labor
