The category of rigth into the framework of communicative action theory

Abstract

This paper intends to reconstruct in general lines the introduction of the category of right into the framework of the communicative action theory. The proposal is to show this introduction can be thought in exposition terms as a conceptual process that goes from the abstract to the more concrete element, in order to solve the specific problem of social integration. This includes also the political dimension and therefore the proper evolution of Habermas’ thought about the right from Theory of the communicative action to Between Facts and Norms.
