Reflective Equilibrium and Normative Reconstruction: Recasting the Phenomenological Deficit of Critical Theory

Reflective Equilibrium and Normative Reconstruction: Recasting the Phenomenological Deficit of Critical Theory

In this paper, which reflects an ongoing interdisciplinary research in Cognitive and Social Sciences, I recast the normative claims of a political constructivism in reflective equilibrium (Rawls) and of a formal, pragmatic reconstruction (Habermas) as instances of a weak social constructionism. I pr...
