In The Experience of Injustice, the French philosopher Emmanuel
Renault opens an important new chapter in critical theory. He
brings together political theory, critical social science, and a
keen sense of the power of popular movements to offer a forceful
vision of social justice. Questioning normative political
philosophy's conception of justice, Renault gives an account of
injustice as the denial of recognition, placing the experience of
social suffering at the heart of contemporary critical theory.
Inspired by Axel Honneth, Renault argues that a radicalized version
of Honneth's ethics of recognition can provide a systematic
alternative to the liberal-democratic projects of such thinkers as
Rawls and Habermas. Renault reformulates Honneth's theory as a
framework founded on experiences of injustice. He develops a
complex, psychoanalytically rich account of suffering,
disaffiliation, and identity loss to explain these experiences as
denials of recognition, linking everyday injustice to a robust
defense of the politicization of identity in social struggles.
Engaging contemporary French and German critical theory alongside
interdisciplinary tools from sociology, psychoanalysis, socialist
political theory, social-movement theory, and philosophy, Renault
articulates the importance of a theory of recognition for the
resurgence of social critique.
