"Expression and cooperation as norms of contemporary work"

by Deranty, Jean-Philippe (2012)

Abstract

Axel Honneth is one of the few contemporary philosophers to have consistently maintained an interest in the problem of work, from his very first writings to his latest publications. 1 His best known book, The Struggle for Recognition, deals for a substantial part with issues arising from the meaning of work and employment for modern individuals, notably as they pertain to the recognition of the individual’s contribution to the division of labour. 2 With his attempt at a “redefinition of the problem,” presented for the first time at the 2007 “Recognition and Work” conference at Macquarie University, 3 Honneth has cast a reflexive glance upon the evolution of his thinking on issues of work, and performed a partial self-correction.
