in: Nicholas Smith (ed), Recognition theory as social research, Berlin, Springer, 2012Abstract
The most obvious way to unite a philosophical model of recognition with programmes of research in the social sciences today is to do so by reference to the work of Axel Honneth. The marriage of philosophical reflection and social-scientific inquiries is precisely what Honneth has sought to develop throughout his writings in the past two decades, in the tradition of German Critical Theory.
