Struggle For Recognition

Desde a sua origem e progressivamente ao longo das décadas a tradição de pensamento da teoria crítica dedicou esforços voltados a temas relacionados ao direito moderno, buscando compreender suas dinâmicas, funções, potenciais e bloqueios emancipatórios. Um dos autores atuais e mais influentes desta tradição é Axel Honneth que, em sua obra Luta por reconhecimento, desenvolve a tese de que a luta por reconhecimento contém uma força moral que pode promover desenvolvimentos e progressos na vida social. A partir de sua construção da existência de três possíveis esferas de reconhecimento, dentre elas a esfera dos direitos, buscamos extrair o que pode ser considerado direcionado ao campo jurídico na luta por reconhecimento de Honneth, relacionando-a com as considerações recentes do autor no campo do debate contemporâneo sobre teorias de justiça, em que busca realizar uma ligação entre o âmbito individual e o coletivo da vida social, possibilitando moldar uma proposta de uma teoria crítica da justiça em que as lutas por reconhecimento poderiam ter influência direta na definição normativa de parâmetros de justiça de uma sociedade.

Vital Resource

This article focuses on multiculturalism in the context of present-day societies and the need to incorporate minorities within a reframed social order. In his critical theory, Axel Honneth rightly draws attention to the idea of the moral grammar of struggles for recognition.  Analyzing his theory in depth, the article shows that Honneth underestimates the violent power of ideological discourse in marginalizing and excluding society’s others, e.g. cultural minorities. It then puts forward an alternative approach based on Ricœur’s creative and original reflections on ideology and utopia. For the incorporation of cultural minorities to occur, the symbolic order of society needs to be critiqued, transformed and expanded. From this perspective, the author highlights the subversive and transformative strength of utopian counter-narratives. The latter form a vital resource for cultural minorities in their struggle for recognition.

Struggle For Recognition

One of the strong theses defended by Axel Honneth's theory is to show that the motivation of the struggles for recognition arises from everyday experiences of denial of recognition, closely linking forms of moral disrespect with the production of social conflicts. I intend to present initially what I understand as the main contribution of Axel Honneth, namely, the attempt to link the place of subjects’ daily negative experiences with the grammar of social conflicts. Next, I expose some critics against the supposed psychological motivation of the struggles. Finally, I would like to propose that the reconstruction of negative experiences of disrespect should be linked to the studies of social movements. The political deficit of the concept of disrespect would be avoided if we could see how individuals engaged in social movements articulate their previous experiences to the motivation of the struggle for recognition.

Struggle For Recognition

AbstractAxel Honneth frames his contribution to the tradition of critical theory as an attempt to do justice to both the structures of social domination in contemporary Western societies and the practical resources for their overcoming. This paper assesses how well Honneth’s critical theory, which centers on the notion of the struggle for recognition, accomplishes the first of these two tasks. I argue that Honneth has yet to offer a fully satisfactory analysis of domination because his recognition model is unable to make sense of modes of subordination that function without producing any struggle.

Struggle For Recognition

The present review aims to synthesize the theory of recognition developed by Axel Honneth in his work “The Struggle for Recognition: The Moral Grammar of Social Conflicts". His study contains three chapters that interconnect within the methodology used by Critical Theory. First, the author proposes a historical presentification, indicating Hegel's original idea. Subsequently, Honneth updates the structure of social relations of recognition proposed by Hegel; and concludes, pointing out the perspectives of social philosophy, by indicating the aspects of morality and the evolution of society.

The Way

This article examines the critical potential of Honneth’s theory or ethics of recognition by raising two concerns as regards the success of such a project. Firstly, this article argues that Honneth’s ethical turn in critical theory might not be completely warranted and that there are good reasons to supplement his theory of recognition with an account of justificatory practices. Secondly, it argues that the complexity of the beginnings of political resistance proves that an explanative gap remains to be filled to account for the way in which personal experience of disrespect can be transformed into a collective struggle for recognition. By way of conclusion, this article posits that instead of rejecting the critical potential of Honneth’s theory, the concerns raised therein are invitations to specify his theory further, so that contemporary struggles for recognition can be understood more profoundly.

Struggle For Recognition

Axel Honneth’s The Struggle for Recognition develops an empirically anchored theory of social conflict based on Hegel’s theory of recognition. In this book, he argues for an intersubjective view of identity and a moral interpretation of social conflict. According to Honneth, social struggles may be normatively evaluated by the extent to which they provide the preconditions for self-realization in the form of three distinct types of recognition: love, respect, and social esteem. Honneth’s normative ideal aims to occupy a middle ground between overly abstract Kantian theories and potentially parochial communitarian theories. Although the book has been subject to a variety of criticisms, it provides the most systematic and ambitious social theory of recognition available today.

In this interview, Balibar provides a number of reflections on the articulation of different Marxist traditions, including Italian Marxism and the Neue Marx Lektüre, to his own Althusserian position. Similarly, he comments on his relationship to the readings of French theory upon Marx’s oeuvre. He further develops an analysis of the contemporary challenges posed by capitalism – and its different crises – to critical theory, social sciences and social movements. Then, he argues that financialization and the Anthropocene are central issues. He concludes with thoughts on internationalism and citizenship, which he believes to be indispensable political elements in order to conceptualize resistance in this crisis context.

Normative Reconstruction

No esforço a seguir, gostaria de apresentar as direções mais gerais pelas quais se dá a discussão na filosofia contemporânea da noção hegeliana de reconhecimento. Depois de recordar a origem desse conceito, recupero um contexto epistemológico de discussão no qual a noção de intersubjetividade agregada à noção de reconhecimento se faz presente (1). Em seguida, procuro coordenar, a partir da recente discussão travada por Robert Pippin e Axel Honneth, a relação entre o programa de “reconstrução normativa” e a tese de que estaria em jogo, na filosofia hegeliana, uma “socialidade da razão” (2). Finalmente, a partir dessa rápida retomada, aprofundo a questão de pertinência da noção de reconhecimento no âmbito da filosofia prática, da filosofia social e da teoria crítica (3).Abstract: The paper aims at presenting the main features of the contemporary debate on Hegel’s concept of recognition. To begin with, we attempt to recover the epistemological context in which the comprehension of intersubjectivity, linked to the notion of recognition, seems to have great influence (1). Secondly, based on the discussion between Robert Pippin and Axel Honneth about neo-Hegelianism in practical philosophy, we investigate the relation between “normative reconstruction” and “sociality of reason” (2). Finally, the paper focuses on the importance of recognition in philosophical branches such as practical philosophy and critical theory.
