Axel Honneth is widely credited with being one of the most
important contemporary critical theorists. His oeuvre which spans
more than four decades of writing-from his early engagement with
critique in the Frankfurt School tradition to his theory of
recognition and the latest discussions of freedom in modern ethical
life and the question of socialism-has been enormously influential
in the shaping of current critical theory and beyond. This volume
takes the central themes of Honneth's work as a starting point for
debating the present and future of critical theory as a form of
socially grounded philosophy that is geared towards analyzing and
critiquing society. The volume brings together leading scholars in
contemporary social and political philosophy. Honneth's writings
revolve around five key themes: critique, recognition, freedom,
progress and socialism. His arguments with respect to each of these
themes have substantially advanced current debates in critical
theory and social and political philosophy more generally. The
contributing authors take on these five themes and use them as a
springboard to structure their discussion of the future of critical
theory in our contemporary moment.
