The struggle for recognition
Book • 1996
Axel Honneth's "The Struggle for Recognition" is a significant contribution to the field of critical theory.
Honneth develops a comprehensive theory of recognition, arguing that it is a fundamental human need.
He identifies three main spheres of recognition: love, rights, and solidarity.
The book explores how these spheres intersect and influence individual identity formation and social justice.
Honneth's work has been highly influential in shaping contemporary discussions on recognition, social justice, and the importance of social relationships in shaping individual well-being.
His theory provides a framework for understanding how social inequalities manifest and how they can be addressed.
