Resumo: In this article we present our translation and critical introduction to the text “Democracy and the division of social labor: a blind spot in political philosophy” in which Axel Honneth presents the idea that there is a strong connection between the division of labour and the distribution of participatory changes in the democratic will formation, hence, with the quality of democracy in modern societies. Taking his point of departure in the assumption that contemporary political philosophy rarely reflects upon issues related to the working life of its subjects, the author proposes a systematic actualization of the concept of division of labor, through which not only everyday working activities are taken to be reformulated; rather, the very conception of what is to be seen as work must be reformulated.

Partiendo del supuesto de que la filosofía política contemporánea rara vez reflexiona sobre cuestiones relacionadas con la vida laboral de sus sujetos, el autor propone una actualización sistemática del concepto de división del trabajo, a través de la cual no sólo se reformulan las actividades laborales cotidianas, sino la propia concepción de lo que debe considerarse trabajo.Neste artigo apresentamos nossa tradução e introdução crítica ao texto “Democracia e divisão do trabalho social: mais um capítulo negligenciado da filosofia política” em que Axel Honneth apresenta a tese de que a divisão do trabalho social possui íntima relação com a distribuição de chances de participação política e, afinal, com a qualidade da democracia em sociedades modernas. Partindo da constatação de que a teoria política contemporânea raramente se dedicou ao estudo de questões relacionadas ao mundo trabalho dos sujeitos políticos, o autor propõe uma atualização sistemática da concepção de divisão do trabalho social, por meio da qual não apenas as atividades laborais sejam vistas como passíveis de reformulação, mas também a concepção mesma daquilo que é tradicionalmente considerado como trabalho social.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sociologia da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul2024-04-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/13845110.1590/18070337-138451SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 26 (2024): Volume Único; e-soc138451SOCIOLOGIAS; Vol. 26 (2024): Volume Único; e-soc138451Sociologias; Vol. 26 (2024): Volume Único; e-soc138451Sociologias; v. 26 (2024): Volume Único; e-soc1384511807-03371517-4522reponame:Sociologias (Online)instname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/sociologias/article/view/138451/91804Copyright (c) 2024 Axel Honneth, Emil Albert Sobottka, Luiz Gustavo Cunha de Souza, Thiago Aguiar Simimhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHonneth, AxelSobottka, Emil AlbertCunha de Souza, Luiz GustavoAguiar Simim, Thiago2024-04-15T15:08:47Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/138451Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologiasPUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/sociologias/oai||revsoc@ufrgs.br1807-03371517-4522opendoar:2024-04-15T15:08:47Sociologias (Online) - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
