In the contemporary (practical) philosophy, recognition is one of
the central concepts. Humans are thematized as individuals who
recognize one another as moral and legal persons. The central
problem of the globalized, multicultural societies is how to
harmonize the legal persons (who are free and equal) with moral
persons (who may have their unique identity). In The Nature of the
Self the thesis is elaborated that, in the contemporary discussion,
a central dimension of recognition is lacking. All forms of moral
and legal recognition presuppose the recognition at a more
fundamental level: the recognition of the body by the mind. The
systematic development of this relation can be performed with the
help of a critical reconstruction of Hegel 's project in the
Phenomenology of Spirit and the Philosophy of Right. This
reconstruction results in a differentiated concept of the self: in
three forms of the self (corresponding with three forms of
recognition) and their institutional embodiment. This concept of
the self not only competes with the position of Jurgen Habermas and
Axel Honneth (as it is explicitly elaborated), but also with the
one of John Rawls.
