Del círculo “interno” al “externo” de la Teoría Crítica y un paso más Abril, Francisco Critical Theory Socio-historical processes Power/ domination Axel Honneth Erich Fromm Teoría Crítica Procesos socio-históricos Poder/ dominación Axel Honneth Erich Fromm. In this paper we will seek to reconstruct some of the conceptual differences that showed the most representative authors of the first Critical Theory of Frankfurt. These differences refer both to the analysis of socio-historical processes, and to the problem of power and domination. For its adequate reconstruction we will use the contributions made by Axel Honneth –current director of the Institut für Sozialforschung– in his article "Critical Theory". Its main thesis is that in the late 30s there was a division in the first Critical Theory. This division gave rise to an "inner" circle -Max Horkheimer and Theodor Adorno, among others- and an "outer" circle -including to Franz Neumann, Erich Fromm and Walter Benjamin–. Honneth defends the authors belonging to the "outer" circle, but does not develop extensively their arguments. Our intention here is precisely to disaggregate this defense from the re-reading of Erich Fromm's book Escape from Freedom. In this work we can find a "complex" exposition of the socio-historical process and, above all, an "alternative" model of power / domination over that which prevailed in the "inner" circle of Critical Theory. Lastly, we understand that the dialogue that can be established between Honneth and Fromm points to promising paths for renewing and updating critical social thinking. En el presente escrito buscaremos reconstruir algunas de las diferencias conceptuales que mostraron los autores más representativos de la primera Teoría Crítica de Frankfurt. Estas diferencias remiten tanto al análisis de los procesos socio-históricos, como al del problema del poder y la dominación. Para su adecuada reconstrucción nos serviremos de los aportes realizados por Axel Honneth –actual director del Institut für Sozialforschung– en su artículo “Teoría Crítica”. Su principal tesis es que, a finales de la década del treinta, se produjo una escisión en el seno de la primera Teoría Crítica; escisión que suscitó un círculo “interno” -integrado, entre otros, por Max Horkheimer y Theodor Adorno- y uno “externo” -al que pertenecieron Franz Neumann, Erich Fromm y Walter Benjamin-. Honneth defiende a los autores pertenecientes al círculo “externo”, pero no desarrolla de manera extensiva sus argumentos. Nuestra intención aquí es, precisamente, desglosar esta defensa a partir de la relectura del libro de Erich Fromm El miedo a la Libertad. En dicha obra puede encontrarse una exposición “compleja” del proceso socio-histórico y, sobre todo, un modelo de poder / dominación “alternativo” respecto del que prevaleció en el círculo “interno” de la Teoría Crítica. Entendemos, por último, que el diálogo que se pueda establecer entre Honneth y Fromm señala caminos prometedores para renovar y dotar de actualidad al pensamiento social crítico.
