https://doi.org/10.4013/4644Abstract
The article intends to contribute to a clearer understanding of what various critical perspectives question regarding modern legal universality and to discuss analytical views that help to refl ect on the tension between universality and particularity beyond liberal multiculturalism. It starts from Hegel’s notion of concrete universality and then refers to some perspectives that have developed a critique of abstract modern universality, basically to the theories of Seyla Benhabib, Will Kymlicka, Iris Marion Young and Boaventura de Souza Santos, among others.
Key words: multiculturalism, critical theory, universality, ideology.Downloads
