"Recognition" has become a keyword of our time, but its relation to economic "redistribution" remains unclear. This volume stages a debate between two philosophers, one North American, the other German, who hold different views of the relation of redistribution to recognition. Axel Honneth conceives recognition as the fundamental, over-arching moral category, potentially encompassing redistribution, while Nancy Fraser argues that the two categories are both fundamental and mutually irreducible. In alternating chapters the authors respond to each other's criticisms, and offer a lively dialogue on identity politics, capitalism and social justice. The volume is a dramatic riposte to those who proclaim the death of "grand theory".

Industry Reviews

"A carefully wrought and provocative debate between philosophers with strong commitments to asking what a more just social life might be. This txt will doubtless produce a spate of new and important scholarship in critical theory in its wake." Judith Butler "In this exciting dialogue, Nancy Fraser and Axel Honneth do not simply explore wit h perfect conceptual rigor the analogies and tensions of the paradigms of 'equal redistribution' and 'struggle for recognition'. They also demonstrate why engaged theory matters for collective practice. Their speculative effort will set the agenda for transnational debates of vital importance." Etienne Balibar "In this fascinating volume, two of the major theorists of our time battle it out over the question of redistribution versus recognition. The stakes are high: how might a critical theory of capitalist society be revivified in a manner that unites philosophy, politics and social theory. This is engaged theoretical debate of the highest level." Simon Critchley
