%0 Journal Article %T Immanent teleologies versus historical regressions: Some political remarks on Honneth¡¯s Hegelianism %A Marco Solinas %J Philosophy & Social Criticism %@ 1461-734X %D 2019 %R 10.1177/0191453719842350 %X The article is focused on Honneth¡¯s teleology of history, presented as a historical process of gradual realization of an immanent normative ¡®telos¡¯, and not only as a form of axiological evaluation of events and social institutions. The author aims to show that this teleology implies a series of problems both on the level of historical analysis and with respect to the theoretical-political and critical-social outcomes of the new Hegelian critical theory. Particularly, it seems to marginalize the contingent character of historical-political conflicts and the related possibility of regressive implications and consequences of such conflicts, leading to a de-politicization of the immanent theoretical framework at stake %K Hegelianism %K Honneth %K immanent criticism %K regression %K teleology of history %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0191453719842350
