14With or without God? A critical reading of Bubbio's God and the Self in HegelPhilosophy Today 63 (2): 549-554. 2019.Bubbio’s new book is a synthesis of his earlier interventions in Hegel studies, nourished by his research on the notion of sacrifice. It offers an unabashed defence of the theological moment in Hegel’s idealism that is bound to attract much interest and critical attention. The book situates itself expertly in the current landscape. Aside from the original proposal it presents, it is a lucid introduction to the state of discussions in current Hegel scholarship. Many sections have great informativ…Read more

12A Matrix of Intellectual and Historical ExperiencesSymposium 24 (1): 1-25. 2020.This article seeks to re-evaluate the importance of the political in the thinking of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. The article first shows that Sartre’s description of Merleau-Ponty’s intellectual trajectory as one of increasing political apathy from the 1950s onwards is inaccurate. The article then demonstrates that throughout the post-war period, including in his project for a new ontology, Merleau-Ponty believed that a revised version of Marxism would provide the methodological framework within whic…Read more

12A Teoria Crítica entre Marx e HonnethCivitas. Revista de Ciencias Sociais 1 (3). 2018.Neste artigo considerarei as principais objeções marxistas ao modelo de Honneth para uma Teoria Crítica da sociedade e também as objeções centrais de Honneth aos modelos inspirados em Marx. Depois tentarei esboçar uma reaproximação entre ambas posições ao mostrar como o conceito normativo de reconhecimento de Honneth não é oposto a argumentos funcionalistas, e sim que ele contém uma dimensão socioteórica: a ideia de que a reprodução social e a evolução social revolvem ao redor de lutas pela inte…Read more

12The Return of Work in Critical Theory: Self, Society, PoliticsColumbia University Press. 2018.From John Maynard Keynes’s prediction of a fifteen-hour workweek to present-day speculation about automation, we have not stopped forecasting the end of work. Critical theory and political philosophy have turned their attention away from the workplace to focus on other realms of domination and emancipation. But far from coming to an end, work continues to occupy a central place in our lives. This is not only because of the amount of time people spend on the job. Many of our deepest hopes and fea…Read more

12Recognition in a Historical Key: Axel Honneth on the History of Recognition and Social FreedomJournal of Social and Political Philosophy 1 (2): 169-185. 2022.Axel Honneth’s philosophical reflections always had significant historical dimensions, but it is only recently, in Recognition.

This essay examines the cogency and the implications of this turn to intellectual history in the theory of recognition. The first section summarises the main historical claims put forward by Honneth. Section two raises critical doubts regarding three aspects of h…Read more

8Recognition or Disagreement. A Critical Encounter on the Politics of Freedom, Equality, and Identity (edited book)Columbia University Press. 2016.Axel Honneth is best known for his critique of modern society centered on a concept of recognition. Jacques Rancière has advanced an influential theory of modern politics based on disagreement. Underpinning their thought is a concern for the logics of exclusion and domination that structure contemporary societies. In a rare dialogue, these two philosophers explore the affinities and tensions between their perspectives to provoke new ideas for social and political change. Honneth sees modern soci…Read more

8La Philosophie sociale entre sociologie et psychologie sociale: le cas du travailCahiers Philosophiques 1 (1): 21-33. 2013.Cet article tente d’éclairer le rapport entre philosophie sociale et sciences sociales, en se demandant comment une philosophie sociale contemporaine doit traiter les questions relatives au travail. Le but, in fine, est de suggérer qu’en tentant de répondre à cette question spécifique on donne un éclairage intéressant sur des difficultés plus générales inhérentes au programme d’une philosophie sociale, notamment en ce qui concerne son rapport aux sciences sociales.

6Reconnaissance ou mésentente? Un dialogue critique entre Jacques Rancière et Axel Honneth (edited book)Editions de la Sorbonne. 2020.Axel Honneth a élaboré une critique de la société moderne au prisme du concept de reconnaissance. Jacques Rancière a construit une théorie de la politique moderne à partir du concept de mésentente. Ils s'attachent tous deux à analyser les logiques d’exclusion et de domination qui structurent les sociétés contemporaines. Dans un précieux dialogue, les deux philosophes explorent les affinités et les tensions entre leurs approches respectives. Ils contribuent ainsi à renouveler le cadre d’une théor…Read more

Un dialogue critique entre Jacques Rancière et Axel Honneth. pp. 7-50. 2020.Axel Honneth, célèbre théoricien allemand de la reconnaissance qui s’inscrit dans la filiation de l’École de Francfort et notamment de Jürgen Habermas, et Jacques Rancière, éminent penseur français de la mésentente qui a rompu avec la tradition althussérienne, sont deux figures centrales du paysage intellectuel contemporain. Leurs pensées se situent dans deux traditions distinctes, mais elles ont toutes deux à voir avec le marxisme pris au sens large, qu’elles considèrent sous un angle critique.…Read more

1Feuerbach, Ludwig (1804-1872)Blackwell Encyclopedia of Sociology. 2019.German philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872) is now a relatively obscure figure and yet he played a key role in the German intellectual scene in the middle of the nineteenth century. He received his training from Hegel but moved away from Hegel's absolute idealism early on. In his mature work he sought to reuse aspects of the Hegelian method to propose a new, materialist theory of knowledge, and, most famously, of religious belief. He was a major influence on the budding socialist movement in…Read more
