Résumé
In “The Other of Justice: Habermas and the Ethical Challenge of Postmodernism” (1994), translated by Emmanuel Levine, Axel Honneth demonstrates that if the so-called “postmodern” ethics of Jean-François Lyotard and Stephen White do not go beyond the framework of discourse ethics, then Jacques Derrida, drawing on Levinas, developed a moral standpoint which corrects and completes the Kantian idea of equal treatment. In perpetual tension with Habermas’s principles of justice and solidarity, solicitude (care) takes into consideration the singularity and vulnerability of individuals excluded from discourse and reveals the moral necessity to provide them with unilateral and unlimited help.
