What role does the organisation of labour relations play in the health of a democratic society? Axel Honneth’s major new work is devoted to answering this question. His central thesis is that participation in democratic will formation can only proceed from a transparent and fairly regulated division of labour.The social world of work – where we spend so much of our time – is almost unique in being a space in which we have experiences and learn lessons that we can use to influence the attitudes of a political community. Therefore, by shaping working conditions in a particular way, we have a prime opportunity to foster cooperative forms of behaviour that benefit democracy, both by making mental room for these to flourish and by using the workplace as a rehearsal for democratic interaction in wider society.A job cannot be so tiring that a worker cannot think about political events; a job cannot pay so little that one cannot engage in political activity in his or her free time; a job cannot demand subordination which inhibits deserved criticism of one’s superiors: economic independence, intellectual and physical autonomy, reduction of strain and crushing boredom, sufficient free time, self-respect and the confidence to speak up, and the chance to practice democratic interaction are all things which we must encourage in order to unblock access to democratic participation. Honneth argues that the reality of labour today increasingly undermines this participation – and he sets out the conditions necessary for a reversal of this injustice.Tracking the development of labour conditions since the birth of capitalism, this important book engages with a vital topic that has been neglected in democratic theory. It will be of great interest to students and scholars in philosophy, sociology, politics and the humanities and social sciences generally. - Svenska, 2026

De flesta vuxna ägnar runt hälften av sin vakna tid under vardagarna åt att lönearbeta. Trots detta handlar det offentliga samtalet och den politiska debatten inte mycket om vad folk faktiskt gör på jobbet och hur de ser på sitt arbete. Och trots att allt fler oroar sig för demokratins alltmer pressade situation i världen, tycks få bekymra sig över att medborgarna har minimalt demokratiskt inflytande över sina arbetsaktiviteter.
Tvärtemot denna tidsanda handlar Fronesis nr 88–89 om vad som händer på jobbet. Det handlar om vilket värde det dagliga arbetet har för den som jobbar, om innebörden av rättvisa och demokrati i arbetslivet och om hur kollektiv organisering på arbetsplatsen kan öka både meningsfullheten och rättvisan i lönearbetet.
Den tyske socialfilosofen Axel Honneth gör en idéhistorisk exposé över de olika tankeströmningar som har påverkat vänsterns och arbetarrörelsens syn på arbetets värde och organisering. Den amerikanska politiska filosofen Elizabeth S. Anderson diskuterar det rimliga i att liberaldemokratiska stater tillåter auktoritära styrelseformer över det lönearbete som upptar en så stor del av de flestas dagliga liv.
I en rad texter undersöks det svenska arbetslivet. Det handlar om hur klimatförändringarna påverkar skogsarbetares arbetsvillkor och fackliga strategier, om kommunalarbetares krav på samhälleligt erkännande, om tjänstemännens allt vanligare distansarbete och om hur svenskarnas syn på olika yrkens status har förändrats.
I numret återaktualiseras även Sverre Lysgaard och Walter Korpi, två centrala forskare inom nordisk arbetslivsforskning vilkas analyser av lönearbetarnas kollektiva makt än i dag är högst relevanta.

Recognition or Disagreement
A Critical Encounter on the Politics of Freedom, Equality, and Identity
Häftad, Engelska, 2017448 kr

Axel Honneth is best known for his critique of modern society centered on a concept of recognition. Jacques Ranciere has advanced an influential theory of modern politics based on disagreement. Underpinning their thought is a concern for the logics of exclusion and domination that structure contemporary societies. In a rare dialogue, these two philosophers explore the affinities and tensions between their perspectives to provoke new ideas for social and political change. Honneth sees modern society as a field in which the logic of recognition provides individuals with increasing possibilities for freedom and is a constant catalyst for transformation. Ranciere sees the social as a policing order and the political as a force that must radically assert equality. Honneth claims Ranciere's conception of the political lies outside of actual historical societies and involves a problematic desire for egalitarianism. Ranciere argues that Honneth's theory of recognition relies on an overly substantial conception of identity and subjectivity.While impassioned, their exchange seeks to advance critical theory's political project by reconciling the rift between German and French post-Marxist traditions and proposing new frameworks for justice. - Häftad, Engelska, 2004

"Recognition" has become a veritable keyword of our time, but its relation to "redistribution" remains undertheorized. This volume remedies the lacuna by staging a sustained debate between two philosophers, one North American, the other European, who hold different views of the matter. Highly attuned to contemporary politics, the exchange between Nancy Fraser and Axel Honneth constitutes a rigorous dialogue on moral philosophy, social theory, and the best way to conceptualize capitalist society. - Häftad, Engelska, 1993

The idea of socialism has given normative grounding and orientation to the outrage over capitalism for more than 150 years, and yet today it seems to have lost much of its appeal. Despite growing discontent, many would hesitate to invoke socialism when it comes to envisioning life beyond capitalism. How can we explain the rapid decline of this once powerful idea? And what must we do to renew it for the twenty-first century? In this lucid, political-philosophical essay, Axel Honneth argues that the idea of socialism has lost its luster because its theoretical assumptions stem from the industrial era and are no longer convincing in our contemporary post-industrial societies. Only if we manage to replace these assumptions with a concept of history and society that corresponds to our current experiences will we be able to restore confidence in a project whose fundamental idea remains as relevant today as it was a century ago the idea of an economy that realizes freedom in solidarity. The Idea of Socialism was awarded the Bruno Kreisky Prize for the Political Book of 2015. - Del 74 - Fronesis

ERKÄNNANDE Ambitionen med Fronesis nr 74–75 är att fördjupa förståelsen av erkännande. Genom några centrala texter belyser vi olika aspekter av denna komplexa erfarenhet hela vägen från existentiell strävan till politisk kamp. Hegels herre–slav-dialektik återkommer ständigt i diskussionen av erkännandets dynamik. I numret presenteras den rysk-franske filosofen Alexandre Kojève, vars begärsfokuserade tolkning av dialektiken är grundläggande för all nutida diskussion av erkännande. Den text som vi låtit översätta är introduktionen till Hegelföreläsningarna, som hölls i Paris på 1930-talet. Den amerikanska filosofen och queerteoretikern Judith Butler står för ett radikalt ifrågasättande av erkännandet. Hennes tolkning av herre–slav-dialektikens utgång utgör en vattendelare mellan de olika värderingarna av erkännandets roll i historien. I Hegeltraditionens huvudfåra är samhällsmoralen en språngbräda till förverkligandet av mera frihet, medan den för Butler representerar förtryckande normer som underkuvar människor på ett sätt som de själva inte kommer åt. Den kanadensiska sociologen Michèle Lamont diskuterar i sin text hur erkännandet blivit ojämnare fördelat på senare tid. Det ojämnt fördelade erkännandet tycks bero på ojämnt fördelade resurser – man känner sig inte sedd och värdesatt som lågavlönad och arbetslös i ett samhälle där andra skyltar med sina framgångar, karriärplaner och resor – likaväl som på förskjutningar i statusordningar – man känner inte längre igen sig i ett samhälle där livsval och det man själv håller högt inte värdesätts av andra. Därigenom rör hon sig bortom frågan »omfördelning eller erkännande?«, som präglade 1990-talets återupplivade diskussion om erkännande. Rörelsen i numret kan förefalla vara riktad bort från politiken och mot existentiella dilemman och begärets natur. Samtidigt handlar allt om politikens förutsättningar – den förpolitiska mylla eller existentiella erfarenhet som politikens visioner och konflikter slår rot i. Numret bärs upp av en idé om att alla politiska mobiliseringar måste knyta an till den under ytan pågående kampen hos människor att fullt ut bli en del av samhället utifrån en förståelse om att detta i sig är ett rörligt mål. Det är en utmaning för alla såväl som en framgångsfaktor. Innehåll i Fronesis nr 74–75 (240 sidor): Magnus Hörnqvist och Johan Lindgren: Från existentiell strävan till politisk kamp. Carl-Göran Heidegren: Fichte och Hegel om ömsesidigt erkännande Axel Honneth: Från begär till erkännande Alexandre Kojève: I stället för inledning.

This is a penetrating reinterpretation and defense of Hegel's social theory as an alternative to reigning liberal notions of social justice. The eminent German philosopher Axel Honneth rereads Hegel's Philosophy of Right to show how it diagnoses the pathologies of the overcommitment to individual freedom that Honneth says underlies the ideas of Rawls and Habermas alike. Honneth argues that Hegel's theory contains an account of the psychological damage caused by placing too much emphasis on personal and moral freedom. Although these freedoms are crucial to the achievement of justice, they are insufficient and in themselves leave people vulnerable to loneliness, emptiness, and depression. Hegel argues that people must also find their freedom or "self-realization" through shared projects. Such projects involve the three institutions of ethical life--family, civil society, and the state--and provide the arena of a crucial third kind of freedom, which Honneth calls "communicative" freedom. A society is just only if it gives all of its members sufficient and equal opportunity to realize communicative freedom as well as personal and moral freedom. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2024

Crisis Under Critique
How People Assess, Transform, and Respond to Critical Situations
Häftad, Engelska, 2022360 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The word “crisis” denotes a break, a discontinuity, a rupture—a moment after which the normal order can continue no longer. Yet our political vocabulary today is suffused with the rhetoric of crisis, to the point that supposed abnormalities have been normalized. How can the notion of crisis be rethought in order to take stock of—and challenge—our understanding of the many predicaments in which we find ourselves?Instead of diagnosing emergencies, Didier Fassin, Axel Honneth, and an assembly of leading thinkers examine how people experience, interpret, and contribute to the making of and the response to critical situations. Contributors inquire into the social production of crisis, evaluating a wide range of cases on five continents through the lenses of philosophy, sociology, anthropology, political science, history, and economics. Considering social movements, intellectual engagements, affected communities, and reflexive perspectives, the book foregrounds the perspectives of those most closely involved, bringing out the immediacy of crisis. Featuring analysis from below as well as above, from the inside as well as the outside, Crisis Under Critique is a singular intervention that utterly recasts one of today’s most crucial—yet most ambiguous—concepts. - Häftad, Engelska, 2012

In the early 20th century, Marxist theory was enriched and rejuvenated by adopting the concept of reification, introduced by the Hungarian theorist Georg Lukács to identify and denounce the transformation of historical processes into ahistorical entities, human actions into things that seemed part of an immutable "second nature." For a variety of reasons, both theoretical and practical, the hopes placed in de-reification as a tool of revolutionary emancipation proved vain. In these original and imaginative essays, delivered as the Tanner Lectures at the University of California, Berkeley in 2005, the distinguished third-generation Frankfurt School philosopher Axel Honneth attempts to rescue the concept of reification by recasting it in terms of the philosophy of recognition he has been developing over the past two decades. Three distinguished political and social theorists: Judith Butler, Raymond Geuss, and Jonathan Lear, respond with hard questions about the central anthropological premise of his argument, the assumption that prior to cognition there is a fundamental experience of intersubjective recognition that can provide a normative standard by which current social relations can be judged wanted. Honneth listens carefully to their criticism and provides a powerful defense of his position. - Inbunden, Engelska, 2008

Axel Honneth has been instrumental in advancing the work of the Frankfurt School of critical theorists, rebuilding their effort to combine radical social and political analysis with rigorous philosophical inquiry. These eleven essays published over the past five years reclaim the relevant themes of the Frankfurt School, which counted Theodor W. Adorno, Max Horkheimer, Walter Benjamin, Jurgen Habermas, Franz Neumann, and Albrecht Wellmer as members. They also engage with Kant, Freud, Alexander Mitscherlich, and Michael Walzer, whose work on morality, history, democracy, and individuality intersects with the Frankfurt School's core concerns. Collected here for the first time in English, Honneth's essays pursue the unifying themes and theses that support the methodologies and thematics of critical social theory, and they address the possibilities of continuing this tradition through radically changed theoretical and social conditions. According to Honneth, there is a unity that underlies critical theory's multiple approaches: the way in which reason is both distorted and furthered in contemporary capitalist society.And while much is dead in the social and psychological doctrines of critical social theory, its central inquiries remain vitally relevant. Is social progress still possible after the horrors of the twentieth century? Does capitalism deform reason and, if so, in what respects? Can we justify the relationship between law and violence in secular terms, or is it inextricably bound to divine justice? How can we be free when we're subject to socialization in a highly complex and in many respects unfree society? For Honneth, suffering and moral struggle are departure points for a new "reconstructive" form of social criticism, one that is based solidly in the empirically grounded, interdisciplinary approach of the Frankfurt School. - Del 23 - New Directions in Critical Theory

Freedom's Right
The Social Foundations of Democratic Life
Häftad, Engelska, 2015349 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Theories of justice often fixate on purely normative, abstract principles unrelated to real-world situations. The philosopher and theorist Axel Honneth addresses this disconnect, and constructs a theory of justice derived from the normative claims of Western liberal-democratic societies and anchored in morally legitimate laws and institutionally established practices. Honneth's paradigm-which he terms "a democratic ethical life"-draws on the spirit of Hegel's Philosophy of Right and his own theory of recognition, demonstrating how concrete social spheres generate the tenets of individual freedom and a standard for what is just. Using social analysis to re-found a more grounded theory of justice, he argues that all crucial actions in Western civilization, whether in personal relationships, market-induced economic activities, or the public forum of politics, share one defining characteristic: they require the realization of a particular aspect of individual freedom. This fundamental truth informs the guiding principles of justice, enabling a wide-ranging reconsideration of its nature and application. - Del 78 - New Directions in Critical Theory

Over the last decade, Axel Honneth has established himself as one of the leading social and political philosophers in the world today. Rooted in the tradition of critical theory, his writings have been central to the revitalization of critical theory and have become increasingly influential. His theory of recognition has gained worldwide attention and is seen by some as the principal counterpart to Habermass theory of discourse ethics. In this important new volume, Honneth pursues his path-breaking work on recognition by exploring the moral experiences of disrespect that underpin the conduct of social and political critique. What we might conceive of as a striving for social recognition initially appears in a negative form as the experience of humiliation or disrespect. Honneth argues that disrespect constitutes the systematic key to a comprehensive theory of recognition that seeks to clarify the sense in which institutionalized patterns of social recognition generate justified demands on the way subjects treat each other.This new book by one of the leading social and political philosophers of our time will be of particular interest to students and scholars in social and political theory and philosophy. - Häftad, Engelska, 2007
