Reconstrução e crítica imanente: Rahel Jaeggi e a recusa do método reconstrutivo na Teoria Crítica

The main objective of this article is to discuss whether Habermas’s model of reconstructive criticism is a kind of immanent critique. It tries to expose and refute the position of Rahel Jaeggi, according to which reconstructive criticism is rather a kind of internal critique that has a more conservative than transforming feature. Instead, it is argued that reconstructive criticism in Habermas presents specific traits that make up a new kind of immanent critique, compared to the critique of ideology, a kind that is more connected to structuring rules of social practices.
