Revolutionary Recognition represents a major contribution to
contemporary political theory. It argues that human emancipation is
only possible in a society characterised by 'mutual recognition'.
In present-day political theory, the term 'recognition' has become
popular and widely discussed, but has become synonymous with
reformist scenarios, such as social democratic politics and the
politics of identity. Richard Gunn and Adrian Wilding undertake a
comprehensive critique of existing understandings of recognition,
particularly those of Axel Honneth and Charles Taylor, returning
'recognition' to its original meaning in the work of Hegel and
Marx, and showing how mutual recognition has revolutionary rather
than merely reformist implications. Gunn's and Wilding's work is
unapologetically political and introduces a new principle - 'mutual
recognition' - around which radical politics can organise. This
book is a ground-breaking contribution to left wing theory and is
relevant as both a scholarly text and a rallying cry to the Left.
