Sociedad civil, emancipación y crisis

The present paper addresses the issue of civil society “irreducibility” to nihilism. This purpose, that it is also possible to find in Habermas’, Cohen's and Arato's particular version of post-Marxism, includes here an additional challenge: to incorporate a radical consciousness of this category potentialities to exclude and depoliticize and, yet, to maintain its emancipatory imprint. In the central section, the author exposes this post-Marxist perspective and the questioning of Hegelian-Marxist tradition. Finally, concludes by reviewing Alexander's and Koselleck's approaches, which contribute to think about irreducibility.
