The catalyst for this proposal is Honneth’s challenge of describing and justifying a standpoint from which society and its institutional practices can be meaningfully theoretically criticized. This study delves deeply into the concept of forms of life and its critiques, and proposes that a genealogical approach realizes the goals intended by Jaeggi’s proposition in her book Critique of Forms of Life. Martin Saar’s tridimensional description of Nietzsche's genealogy is the guide towards the realization of this genealogical project. Jaeggi has a theoretical proposition developed and genealogy can be an instrument that could bridge the gap between the theoretical possibility of the immanent criticism and a practice of social critique. The genealogical proposition provides a surplus in comparison with Jaeggi’s position. Genealogy presents itself as an instrument of critique tailor made to the time that we live in.", publisher = {Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul}, scholl = {Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Sociais}, note = {Escola de Humanidades} }
