Abstract:
|
Although most critical theories of recognition begin with a model that relates individual identity development to social structures of group recognition, Nancy Fraser has recently proposed a model that begins from an external, social-scientific point of view, focusing specifically on groups that suffer from institutionalized status subordination. She attempts to demonstrate the advantage of this model by comparing it with the deficits of identity-based theories put forward by Axel Honneth and Charles Taylor. This paper argues that although Fraser’s general critical social theory yields important improvements over these competing models, the improvements are not in general due to the adoption of a status-based model of recognition. |

| (footnote 15 page 41) namely that “everyone always needs their distinctiveness recognized ” (page 31). Not only is this facially false concerning Honneth’s view it ignores the long argument that Taylor advances at the end of his essay to the effect that we owe all cultures only a rebuttable presumption of worth. For Taylor this is only a preliminary presumption that their difference and specificity ought to be celebrated not an ultimate categorical obligation that we owe all groups. |
