Abstract
This thesis inquires into the conception of the political that underlies the historico-conceptual approaches of Otto Brunner, Reinhart Koselleck and the so-called School of Padua. The general hypothesis guiding the research holds that the view of the political orients the object, the questions and the scope of the historico-conceptual task proposed by each of these perspectives, as well as the theoretico-political positions of their authors, thus configuring different ways of making conceptual history. The display and exhibition of this link will be the subject of each of the three chapters, devoted respectively to Brunner, Koselleck and the Paduan group.
After a close examination of each perspective, our study proposes to condense the conception of the political of each of them into three respective propositions that, we argue, orient the meaning of their historico-conceptual practice. Firstly, we indicate that Brunner’s conception of the political alludes to the way of life of a community, in particular to the internal structure that organises the coexistence of its members and on the basis of which they understand themselves in their mutual bond. Secondly, we argue that Koselleck’s conception of the political refers to a series of permanent problems, of an anthropological nature, which indelibly mark our human condition and are at stake in each concrete history without ever being resolved. Thirdly, we affirm that the Paduan conception of the political refers to the manifestation of the question of justice as a conflict between the governed and the rulers, within the framework of governmental relations that politically organise all human coexistence. From such considerations, it is possible to glimpse under a different light the relationship between permanent political problems and the characteristic gesture of conceptual historicisation of the sub-discipline.
In addition, throughout the course of this study, it will be possible to identify how the three approaches perceive the epistemological problem of the relationship between historical approach and present time, allowing us to become aware of the position of enunciation of every author and of the consequent perspectivism of every theory.
The method employed will be fundamentally hermeneutic, seeking to arrive at an immanent understanding of each author’s considerations and oriented by the proposed guiding question. However, we will repeatedly make use of contextualisation resources by means of historico-intellectual considerations, without these becoming the main axis of the research. In the conclusions, we will develop a specifically theoretico-comparative analysis, in order to bring the perspectives examined into dialogue. Finally, it should be noted that, given the specificity of the object under examination (a disciplinary approach with its own theory and method), the three chapters will mobilise gnoseological, epistemological and methodological problems which, besides their relevance for the theoretico-political question that guides us, will be at the centre of the concern of these perspectives, as they refer to constitutive dilemmas of the historico-conceptual practice itself and to the answers given to these dilemmas.
