Pesquisa crítico-normativa e argumento ontológico-social : uma leitura filosófico-social do orçamento participativo

Abstract

Social philosophy is fundamentally concerned with the sphere of the "Social" (Das Sozialen), in which it is conceived as a “discipline... which asks itself about our social practices, insti-tutions, and social relations, hence our forms of social life.” The "Social" deals with social relations (practices) as well as their institutions, in which they are understood as constitutive conditions for the effective exercise of individuality and freedom. Institutions, in turn, differ as common social practices or as social practices mediated by norms (social institutions). In this context, the central question is set out in an explicit way: what an institution is, how it functions and how it works. Hence a challenge presented in this doctoral dissertation, from the point of view of both social philosophy and critical-normative research, and taking into account the deliberative-participatory democratic scenario in a public sphere, so as to think of the social institution not only as the backbone of society, but above all to think of its ancho-ring together with the social-ontological approach with a view (telos) to emancipation, whose praxis is fundamentally based on the struggle for the acquisition of social goods. This thesis intends to present a possibility of answer to the problem of the depoliticization of the public sphere anchoring itself in the basic premise of a social-ontological argument for the critical research in which it assumes the position that the participatory budgeting (which is itself a form of social and political life) as a participative institution (social entity) can help in the process of repolitization of the public sphere by establishing itself in a democratic society as a social and normative medium with pretensions to the resolution of social pathologies.
