Abstract
En este trabajo, inmersos en dos de las tradiciones que dan cuerpo al pensamiento crítico (la Escuela de Frankfurt y el pensamiento crítico intercul-tural), nos proponemos desarrollar algunos lineamientos para seguir pensando en un necesario y renovado universalismo. Para desarrollar este objetivo, inda-garemos en algunas categorías centrales del pensamiento de Habermas al igual que en algunas de las críticas recibidas. Habermas es un buen punto de partida, ya que además de superar la visión pesimista y catastrófica de la primera gene-ración de la Escuela de Frankfurt sobre el futuro de la humanidad, yendo más allá de las razones instrumental y estratégica, con la emergencia de la acción comunicativa, instala una racionalidad trasformadora, universal, en la que el vínculo entre actores y hablantes va a desempeñar un papel fundamental. La meta no es sustituir su universalismo, ni tampoco negarlo, sino complejizarlo.
In this paper, immersed in two of the traditions that give body to critical thinking (the Frankfurt School and intercultural critical thinking), we propose to develop some guidelines to continue pondering on a necessary and renewed universalism. To develop this objective, we will delve into some of Habermas’ central categories of thought as well as some of the criticism they received. Habermas is a good starting point, since in addition to overcoming the pessimistic and catastrophic vision of the first generation of the Frankfurt School on the future of humanity, going beyond instrumental and strategic reasons, with the emergence of communicative action, he installs a transformative, universal rationality, in which the link between actors and speakers will play a fundamental role. The goal is not to replace his universalism, nor to deny it, but to make it more complex.
