The political theory of recognition is a response to these challenges.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this, the first introductory book on the subject, Simon Thompson analyses the argument that a just society is one that shows all its members due recognition. Focusing on the work on Charles Taylor, Axel Honneth and Nancy Fraser, he discusses how political theorists have conceptualised recognition, the different accounts they have given and the criticisms made of the very idea of a politics of recognition. Through the political theory of recognition, Thompson argues, we gain a better understanding of identity and difference. Practically, the concept of recognition can serve as a basis for determining which individual rights should be protected, whether cultures ought to be valued, and whether a case can be made for group representation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis clear and accessible book provides an excellent guide through the ongoing and increasingly significant debate between multiculturalism and its critics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSimon Thompson\u003c\/b\u003e is a lecturer in politics at the University of the West of England, Bristol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.8 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 06, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52731704770867,"sku":"9780745627625","price":49.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/aXpUNWgwWUs2NlJkZ0FIamhiQ0tsUT09_9188ba9d-f9ac-4ce0-a1a1-1dc541a5f2a6.webp?v=1763866823","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-political-theory-of-recognition-a-critical-introduction-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
