Drawing on the philosophy of Hegel, they envision a system of reciprocal knowledge and esteem, in which the affirming glance of others lets everyone be who they really are. This book challenges the equation of recognition with justice. Patchen Markell mines neglected strands of the concept's genealogy and reconstructs an unorthodox interpretation of Hegel, who, in the unexpected company of Sophocles, Aristotle, Arendt, and others, reveals why recognition's promised satisfactions are bound to disappoint, and even to stifle. Written with exceptional clarity, the book develops an alternative account of the nature and sources of identity-based injustice in which the pursuit of recognition is part of the problem rather than the solution. And it articulates an alternative conception of justice rooted not in the recognition of identity of the other but in the acknowledgment of our own finitude in the face of a future thick with surprise. Moving deftly among contemporary political philosophers (including Taylor and Kymlicka), the close interpretation of ancient and modern texts (Hegel's Phenomenology, Aristotle's Poetics, and more), and the exploration of rich case studies drawn from literature (Antigone), history (Jewish emancipation in nineteenth-century Prussia), and modern politics (official multiculturalism), Bound by Recognition is at once a sustained treatment of the problem of recognition and a sequence of virtuoso studies. 606 $aEquality 606 $aJustice 606 $aMulticulturalism 606 $aDifference (Philosophy) 606 $aGroup identity 606 $aRecognition (Philosophy) 606 $aAgent (Philosophy) 606 $aIndividuality 606 $aDemocracy 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aJustice. 615 0$aMulticulturalism. 615 0$aDifference (Philosophy) 615 0$aGroup identity. 615 0$aRecognition (Philosophy) 615 0$aAgent (Philosophy) 615 0$aIndividuality. 615 0$aDemocracy. 676 $a320/.01 700 $aMarkell$b Patchen$f1969-$0627126 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777923703321 996 $aBound by Recognition$91212447 997 $aUNINA
