Among other things, social movements criticize existing deficits in democratic systems, they promote practices of deliberation and enact non-hierarchical structures that challenge existing democratic institutions. Very often, these challenges emerge from the context of struggle against unjust situations involving social exclusion, economic inequalities or the violation of fundamental rights. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDemocracy and the Struggle Against Injustice draws on the insights of one of the greatest American Philosophers John Dewey as well as on some central intuitions of Frankfurt School Critical Theory in order to account for the connection between the democratic potential of social movements and their capacity to articulate injustice and promote just social relations. Particularly, it develops the idea that this double capacity can be explained by introduction of the pragmatist notion of experimental inquiry into the analysis of the epistemic practices of the mobilized. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy introducing in a unique way pragmatist epistemology to the study of social movements, Democracy and the Struggle Against Injustice substantially contributes to account for their emancipatory potentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: From Massive Evictions to Deepening Democracy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART I\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: The Two Values of Democracy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Axel Honneth: Struggle for Recognition and Democratic Advancement\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: John Dewey: The Political Potential of Democracy's Epistemic Dimension\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART II\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: From Contents to Practices: Points of Departure\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: The Double Counter-Hegemonic Potential of Experimentalist Practices\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Experimental Epistemic Practices in Social Movements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART III\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Consciousness-Rising Meetings as Experimental Inquiries\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: Articulating a Sense of Powers: An Expressivist Reading of Dewey's Theory of Social Struggles\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041195655511,"sku":"9781538151549","price":80.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781538151549.jpg?v=1750949306","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/democratization-and-struggles-against-injustice-a-pragmatist-approach-to-the-epistemic-practices-of-social-movements-9781538151549","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
