Abstract

Nancy Fraser engages critically with the politics of recognition. Against mainstream philosophical and psychological traditions, she understands recognition in primarily sociological terms as a matter of social standing. She believes that the concept of recognition alone cannot inform a complete account of social justice. Instead it is necessary to supplement and integrate it with two further dimensions of redistribution and representation. Only such a three-dimensional account of social justice can facilitate the empirically grounded critique of contemporary capitalist societies and states.
