The present doctoral research perform articulation between the Recognition Theory and the Theory of Justice as an Analysis of Society, by Axel Honneth, as a path for critical analysis of social practices and institutions that establish social patterns of affirmation and refusal for the other into intersubjective relationships built and extended over the generations. The thematic focus takes as object the intergenerational conflicts and his postulations of disruption or preservation of legacy or inheritance among past, present and future generations in order to develop one approach that put them in a normative dimension linked to moral theory but not dissociated from social action expression. Understanding of intergenerational conflicts as struggle for intergenerational recognition, also including conflicts situated in the struggle for intragenerational recognition, accompanied by the normative reconstruction of social practices and institutions, allow conceive the intergenerational selfrealization. The intergenerational selfrealization, linked to Honneth s formal conception of ethical life, articulates moral and social actions, besides providing criteria for identification of social pathologies and mechanisms of negative recognition in social interactions.
