Honneth argued that Foucault’s theory of power, built on strategic struggle alone, cannot explain how social orders become stable and drifts into systems theory (Kritik der Macht, 1985). A. Honneth, Kritik der Macht. Reflexionsstufen einer kritischen Gesellschaftstheorie (1985)

Against Fraser’s dualism of redistribution and recognition, Honneth argued that distributive conflicts are themselves struggles for recognition, so a single normative concept suffices (Redistribution or Recognition?, 2003).

Stanowisko

Honneth placed the concept of recognition at the heart of social philosophy, drawing on the young Hegel and George Herbert Mead. Individuals can form an intact identity only if they are recognised by others in three forms: love in close relationships, legal respect as equal persons, and social esteem for their contributions. Experiences of disrespect – abuse, exclusion, humiliation – are therefore the moral driving force of social struggles. Later, in The Right of Freedom, he reconstructed modern institutions as realisations of “social freedom”, and he reinterpreted reification as a forgetting of recognition. His work connects Critical Theory with debates on justice and identity politics.

Życie i kontekst

Born in 1949 in Essen, Honneth studied in Bonn, Bochum and Berlin and became Habermas’s assistant in Frankfurt. From 2001 to 2018 he directed the Institute for Social Research, the historic home of the Frankfurt School, and he has also taught at Columbia University in New York. He is regarded as the leading figure of the third generation of Critical Theory.
