Original Title:
Βία και νομιμοποίηση του δικαίου στους J. Habermas- J. Derrida- W. Benjamin
Translated title:
J. Habermas- J. Derrida- W. Benjamin: Violence and legitimization of the law
Summary:
This master thesis attempts to investigate the developing dialectical relation between justice and violence through the promotion, comparative analysis and subjection to critics of three differentiated views of this problematic as they are presented in the works of J. Habermas, J. Derrida και W. Benjamin, primarily in Between facts and norms, Force of Law and Critique of Violence respectively, but also in other crucial notions and positions that are developed in other oeuvres. The philosophical quest for one, legitimating the use of violence by the legal order, foundation, as well as the attempt of conceiving the complexity and the internal nature of the correlation between violence and the law appear as common, burning questions that, infiltrated within the theoretical views of the three philosophers, activate a series of reflections concerning the distinctions between law and justice, the uniqueness of the relation of the subject with the law, the existence and the formation of the State, the democratic question and responsibility. The tension between these different philosophical aprroaches could be read as a dispute regarding the issue of the recognition of a notion of normativity based on a safe legal foundation, as well as as a question concerning the abandonment of modernity and its structural elements towards the transition to a post-modern, in a lyotarian sense, de-legalisation of the narratives of modernity.
