A urgência da ética do discurso na mediação dos discursos pós-eleitorais em Moçambique: uma abordagem a partir de Jürgen Habermas

Abstract

This monograph is themed: The Urgency of Discourse Ethics in Mediating Post-Electoral Discourses in Mozambique: an approach based on Jürgen Habermas. This stems from the problem inherent in the conflicts arising from post-electoral discourses that endanger social harmony in Mozambique. The research is motivated by the search for mediation of post-electoral discourses with the potential to generate conflicts, calling into question the continuity of ethics in democracy and social harmony. Thus, this monograph has the general objective of: analyzing the theory of discourse ethics as a foundation for mediating post-electoral discourses.

And it has specific objectives: to contextualize the genesis of the debate on discourse ethics by Jürgen Habermas; to discuss how monological and instrumentalist discourses influence the emergence of post-electoral conflicts; and reflect Jürgen Habermas's discourse ethics as a foundation for the mediation of post-electoral discourses in Mozambique. Thus, the central question of this research is: under what assumptions can discourse ethics be considered a criterion for mediating post-electoral conflicts in Mozambique in light of Jürgen Habermas? Jürgen Habermas's discourse ethics seeks understanding through dialogue. Contrary to communicative action and instrumentalist action, this action is concerned with success and the achievement of particular ends. In this vein, in the search for conflict mediation and when the harmony of universalizing the norm, individuals enter into ethical dialogue with a view to moral understanding.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
