Gestão social e cidadania deliberativa: convergência de temas de pesquisa

Abstract

In the work Tem Razão a Administração? (TENÓRIO, 2016, p. 160), Fernando Tenório, shows the influence of the most prominent scholars of the Frankfurt School (Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse -critics of the instrumental rationality -and Jürgen Habermas -with his focus on communicative rationality), in his definition of social management.For Tenório, "the adjective 'social' qualifying the noun 'management,' is understood as the privileged space of social relationship in which everyone has the right to speak, without any coercion" (TENÓRIO, 2016, p. 162).The author discusses the term 'deliberative citizenship,' present in the concept of social management, establishing that "[...] legitimacy of decisions must originate in processes of discussion guided by the principles of inclusion, pluralism, participatory equality, autonomy and common good" (p.162).
