This is a significant and timely study of Hegel's social theory -
there has been a resurgence of scholarly interest in Hegel in
recent years. Since the 1960s 'New Left' emancipatory movements
have claimed that women, ethnic minorities, gays and lesbians, and
other groups are oppressed. Some liberal theorists have treated
their demands for equality as matters of toleration, of securing by
law the equal treatment of cultures and conceptions of the good.
However, much more is involved. Also at stake are conceptions of
identity differences that inform social practices and perpetuate
inequalities that are beyond the reach of legislation. This book
outlines an alternative approach to a liberal politics of
difference. Sybol Anderson begins by constructing a definition of
oppression that illuminates, from a liberal perspective, its
salient features. Exposing the limits of toleration as a response,
Anderson reaches beyond it for a viable concept of recognition.
Hegel's theory of recognition proves an indispensable resource in
this endeavor. Anderson concludes, contrary to recent critics of
Hegelian recognition, that Hegel's theory can successfully guide
modern liberal states toward the achievement of social equality.
