Contents:
Situating the concept of recognition -- Emmanuel Lévinas: recognition as pure sensation -- Emmanuel Lévinas: a Jewish perspective on recognition -- Paul Ricœur: recognition as pure and empirical will -- Paul Ricœur: a Christian perspective on recognition -- The good of recognition.
Summary: The Good of Recognition analyzes the polysemy of recognition operative in the thought of two contemporary French thinkers, Emmanuel Lévinas (1906-1995) and Paul Ricœur (1913-2005). Author Michael Sohn shows that recognition-a concept most often associated with Hegel's works-appears prominently throughout the works of Lévinas and Ricœur, which exist at the intersection of phenomenology, ethics, politics, and religion. Sohn situates recognition in the sociopolitical context of Lévinas and Ricœur and excavates the philosophical and religious sources that undergird the two thinkers' use of recogni.
