Abstract

A comprehensive innovation in contemporary social philosophy, Axel Honneth’s Hegelian model of intersubjectivity is built upon the recognitive forms of love, rights and esteem, each of which is essential for individual-psychological health and well-being. In addition to considering Honneth’s tripartite recognitive model, this chapter will also focus on its systematic dimensions, as well as the conceptual and methodological developments within Honneth’s thought as a whole.
