Justice, Recognition, and Institutions, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Justice, Recognition, and Institutions: A Dialogue with Axel Honneth invites readers to rethink democratic life through one of today's most influential social theories. With a previously unpublished text by Honneth, the book gathers voices from Europe and Latin America that critically engage with his work and reframe it from diverse perspectives---on labor, care, exclusion, freedom, and institutional legitimacy. Divided into three parts, the volume revisits the foundations of recognition, explores how labor shapes identity and justice, and applies Honneth's theses to concrete cases such as art, motherhood, and victimhood. Honneth's written reply to each chapter makes this volume a living exercise in critical theory. Far from a retrospective tribute, it is a vibrant and situated dialogue that shows how recognition can still renew our institutions and democratic horizons.
