    Abstract

    In this paper I present a model of receptivity that is composed of ontological and normative dimensions, which I argue answer to the critical-diagnostic and to the possibility-disclosing needs of democratic politics. I distinguish between 'pre-reflective receptivity,' understood ontologically as a condition of intelligibility, and 'reflective receptivity,' understood normatively as a condition of disclosing new possibilities.
