“For the past few decades Axel Honneth has been developing
and defending the concept of recognition as the groundwork for a
critical theory of society. In this collection of articles he
extends his analysis of recognition in order to show how this
informs social philosophy, moral theory, and political philosophy.
Honneth has a knack for situating fundamental issues in historical
perspective, outlining alternative strategies for dealing with
them, and breaking new ground. This superb collection of essays is
essential for anyone interested in recent developments in the scope
and normative foundations of critical social theory.”
Richard J. Bernstein, New School for Social
Research
“This belated translation makes patent what many of us
have suspected for a long time: Axel Honneth’s recognition
theory constitutes one of the most ambitious philosophical
undertakings of our time. These sparkling essays work out its
implications for major issues in social philosophy, moral
philosophy, and political philosophy.”
Nancy Fraser, New School for Social Research
