The Self in Us: Studies on the Theory of Recognition

In Our Me, Axel Honneth follows in the footsteps of the theoretical framework he developed in his previously published masterpiece, The Struggle for Recognition. In this book, he renews the theory of recognition, which he personally developed and which had a great impact in philosophical circles, with certain changes in order to correct or clarify it in the face of various objections, and when necessary, he expands it to cover different areas.

Creating an interdisciplinary approach by making use of German philosophy, English psychoanalysis and French sociology, Honneth here again reveals his intellectual output, ranging from nuanced readings of Hegel's philosophy to rigorous criticism of certain psychoanalysis theories, from insightful explanations about the development of capitalism to powerful analyzes of social justice theories.

This work, which reveals Honneth's philosophical power and the breadth of his interests, can be a reference book for an in-depth reading adventure in philosophy, political science, sociology and social sciences in general.

“This book shows that Honneth deserves to be recognized as the leading exponent of critical theory today.”
