In this major book, Honneth argues that the 'struggle for
recognition' is and should be at the center of social conflicts.
Honneth examines the arguments put forward by Hegel in his Jena
writings and situates them against the background of modern
philosophy's conception of human life as a struggle for existence.
He shows how the notion of the struggle for recognition changes in
Hegel's work as he moves from an intersubjective paradigm to one
based on consciousness.
Drawing on Marx, Sorel and Sartre, he examines the importance of
the struggle for recognition and of the moral basis of interaction
in human conflicts. Finally, he discusses the relation between the
recognition model and conceptions of modernity, the normative basis
of social theory, and the possibility of mediating between Kant and
Hegel.
"The Struggle for Recognition "draws together a wide variety of
themes and concerns, moving smoothly between moral philosophy and
social theory. It will be essential reading for anyone interested
in this central aspect of Hegel's thought and, more broadly, in
critical theory and social philosophy.
