Abstract

This article aims to discuss the foundations of the Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser theory of justice, in order to understand the dispute between the policies of "redistribution" and "recognition" policies in the way they observe social inequalities and struggles for equality in the contemporary world. We start from the hypothesis that the two alternative interpretations seemingly opposed as a starting point may be an indication of "misconceptions", that is, at the bottom, reconcilable and complementary in the fight against current social inequalities. We must punctuate this debate, therefore, from how the idea of "Justice" is set in specific guidelines of governance and pari passu claim with the historical changes put into practice in recent years. To then observe the consonances and dissonances between the search for "self-realization" and "parity participation".
