Rezensionen

"For the past few decades Axel Honneth has been developingand defending the concept of recognition as the groundwork for acritical theory of society. In this collection of articles heextends his analysis of recognition in order to show how thisinforms social philosophy, moral theory, and political philosophy.Honneth has a knack for situating fundamental issues in historicalperspective, outlining alternative strategies for dealing withthem, and breaking new ground. This superb collection of essays isessential for anyone interested in recent developments in the scopeand normative foundations of critical social theory."

"This belated translation makes patent what many of ushave suspected for a long time: Axel Honneth's recognitiontheory constitutes one of the most ambitious philosophicalundertakings of our time. These sparkling essays work out itsimplications for major issues in social philosophy, moralphilosophy, and political philosophy."
