The idea that we are mutually dependent on the recognition of our
peers is at least as old as modernity. Across Europe, this idea has
been understood in different ways from the very beginning,
according to each country's different cultural and political
conditions. This stimulating study explores the complex history and
multiple associations of the idea of 'Recognition' in Britain,
France and Germany. Demonstrating the role of 'recognition' in the
production of important political ideas, Axel Honneth explores how
our dependence on the recognition of others is sometimes viewed as
the source of all modern, egalitarian morality, sometimes as a
means for fostering socially beneficial behavior, and sometimes as
a threat to 'true' individuality. By exploring this fundamental
concept in our modern political and social self-understanding,
Honneth thus offers an alternative view of the philosophical
discourse of modernity.
