Solidarity and Public-Participatory Budgeting: possible conditions to a Critical Theory?

Solidariedade e Orçamento Público Participativo: condições possíveis para uma Teoria Crítica?

Abstract

Concerning the point of view of the critical theory which provide for three procedural stages of study and research analysis, diagnosis and correction, and that also dialogues with the social ontology, social philosophy, and social critique, we can set out
the sphere of social ontology – means in this paper the research of the nature of social reality, of individuals and in particular of social institutions as is the issue about the public-participatory budgeting (PPB) – as important backbone to a critical research. In this sense, the constitutive genesis of PPB is berthed with the underlying assumptions of a critical theory allowing to arise the solidarity as a possibility of research understood as an expression of a critical thinking aiming to the emancipation mainstreamed with the PPB. In this paper I aim explicit in short the intermingling between solidarity and a Public-Participatory Budgeting as a fundamental room to a critical research.
