PAOLICCHI, Leandro. The discourses of the public and their political reach. Tópicos [online]. 2019, n.37, suppl.1, pp.68-87. ISSN 1666-485X.

This paper extends in a brief examination of the place assigned to discourse by some authors such as Jürgen Habermas, Karl-Otto Apel or Julio De Zan as an instance of legitimacy and meta institutional critic of society. A review of opposing positions such as Arnold Gehlen or Niklas Luhmann seeks to establish the scope and limits of public space -natural place of discourse- as a paradigmatic place for social interrelations of strong normative content oriented towards the validity of institutions. Finally, a series of precisions are made that are necessary for the claim of the importance of the public political space.

Palabras clave : discourse; society; public space; legitimacy; normativity.
