The philosophy of recognition

"This volume presents a collection of original papers by eminent international scholars working at the forefront of recognition theory and provides an unparalleled view of the depth and diversity of philosophical research on the topic. Its particular strength is in exploring connections between the history of philosophy and contemporary research by combining in one volume full treatments of classical authors on recognition - Rousseau, Kant, Fichte, Hegel, Marx, Freud - with cutting-edge work by leading contemporary philosophers of recognition, including Fraser, Honneth, and others."--BOOK JACKET.
