Contributor biographical information

Contents:

Philosophical approaches to recognition -- Recognition and power in social theory -- Recognition and power in political theory -- Axel Honneth on recognition and power.

Summary: "The topic of recognition has come to occupy a central place in contemporary debates in social and political theory. Rooted in Hegel's work, developed by George Herbert Mead and Charles Taylor, it has been given renewed expression in the recent program for Critical Theory developed by Axel Honneth in his book The Struggle for Recognition. Honneth's research program offers an empirically insightful way of reflecting on emancipatory struggles for greater justice and a powerful theoretical tool for generating a conception of justice and the good that enables the normative evaluation of such struggles."--Publisher description.
