CENCI, Angelo Vitório. Reconhecimento e progresso moral: aportes da concepção de modernidade de Honneth para a ideia de formação humana. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2013, vol.19, n.39, pp.271-288. ISSN 1981-0431.

This paper addresses the conception of moral progress in Honneth’s theory of recognition in order to derive from it contributions towards the conception of human development. In order to meet such goal, efforts are made so as to show in what sense there has been, along modernity, an evolution in each sphere of recognition and how such an evolution can be understood as moral progress. This step thus helps make explicit the principles that support the notion of moral progress to finally establish, according to Honneth’s theory of recognition, some questions and indicators for human development from the contrast between the concepts of moral progress and paradoxical contradictions.

Keywords : Moral Progress; Recognition; Modernity; Paradoxical Contradictions; Development.
