Description
Summary:"In this new volume, Axel Honneth pursues his work on recognition by exploring the moral experiences of disrespect that underpin the conduct of social and political critique. What we might conceive of as a striving for social recognition initially appears in a negative form - as the experience of humiliation or disrespect. Honneth argues that disrespect constitutes the systematic key to a comprehensive theory of recognition that seeks to clarify the sense in which institutionalized patterns of social recognition generate justified demands on the way subjects treat each other." "This new book by one of the leading social and political philosophers of our time will be of particular interest for students and scholars in social and political theory and philosophy."--Publisher description.
