Departing from the presentation of the points of convergences between the disruptive Ethics of Luis Villoro and the moral thought of T.W. Adorno regarding the critique of a positive account of the idea of justice, the presentation explores on the experience of vulnerability and injustice in order to present a phenomenological interpretation of Villoro’s account of justice “via negativa” based in the historical experience of exclusion. I conclude with some points to discuss whether a phenomenological approach to the reconstruction of the normative sphere is possible starting from negative experiences related to the condition of vulnerability rather to the habitual understanding of experiencing of values from acts of intuitive enjoyment or positive fulfillments that take into account the historical dimension of injustice and exclusion as a contribution to the idea of resistance against oppression, and the development of a notion of justice departing from an experience-oriented account rather than the rational accounts from the liberal theories like the ones we may find in Rawls or Habermas.
