          Abstract

          Resumen La teoría de Habermas no se ocupó directamente del neoliberalismo, pero cuando se analiza su obra se percibe que muchos de los conceptos de este gran “marxista académico” han estado dirigidos a estudiar (y combatir) los efectos duraderos de las transformaciones neoliberales. Desde el punto de vista de la crítica al neoliberalismo, su ética del discurso y su teoría de la democracia pueden ser consideradas como un intento por abrir el horizonte normativo desde el cual confrontar contra la apropiación instrumental e individualista de las instituciones de la libertad y la democracia modernas. Esta reconstrucción en el ámbito de una normatividad todavía posible para nuestras sociedades sirve de contrapeso y permite estudiar los modos en los que el neoliberalismo se sobrepone a sus crisis y enfrenta a sus críticos. La curiosa existencia-zombi de la política neoliberal, su supervivencia a pesar de sus contrastables efectos destructivos y depredadores, la dificultad para llevar a la práctica verdaderas alternativas democráticas a ese neoliberalismo, todos estos problemas forman parte de la teoría crítica en la que Habermas persevera desde hace más de cuarenta años. En este extenso recorrido, Habermas ha dejado el rastro de una verdadera teoría del neoliberalismo contemporáneo que aquí nos proponemos revisar de una manera esquemática y provisoria.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Habermas's theory did not deal directly with neoliberalism, but when one analyzes his work one can see that many of the concepts of this great "academic Marxist" have been directed at studying (and combating) the lasting effects of neoliberal transformations. From the point of view of the critique of neoliberalism, his ethics of discourse and his theory of democracy can be seen as an attempt to open the normative horizon from which to confront the instrumental and individualistic appropriation of the institutions of modern freedom and democracy. This reconstruction in the realm of a normativity still possible for our societies serves as a counterweight and allows us to study the ways in which neoliberalism overcomes its crises and confronts its critics. The curious zombie existence of neoliberal policy, its survival despite its contrasting destructive and predatory effects, the difficulty of implementing true democratic alternatives to that neoliberalism, all these problems are part of the critical theory in which Habermas has persevered for more than forty years. In this long journey, Habermas has left the trail of a true theory of contemporary neoliberalism that we propose here to review in a schematic and provisional manner.
