The following article proposes a contrast between different ways of understanding political normativity. To this end, I offer a theoretical comparison between the normative political philosophies of Iris Marion Young and Enrique Dussel, focusing on the relations they establish between normativity, justice, and political subjects. Specifically, in the case of Young, I expose the conceptions that traverse her production on structural social justice in close connection with her categories of “social group” and “model of social connection”. In the case of Dussel, his principled political philosophy is treated both in its architectural-systematic and its critical-liberating dimensions. Likewise, the popular subjectivity that the Argentinean proposes for this normative conception is taken into account. The backdrop in which the potentialities and limits of both theories are evaluated is the neoliberal normativity and the relevance of the notion of people in relation to it.
