Abstract

This article discusses the possible contributions of the concept of recognition to a social theory of domination. In a first step, it clarifies the meaning of the notion of social theory and it explains in which sense Honneth’s theory of recognition is a social theory. In a second step, it spells out a series of conditions that should be met by a social theory of domination. The third step raises the main issue of this article: in which respect a theory of recognition could meet these series of conditions? It is argued that in order to answer these questions, the best option is to combine some Bourdieusian insights with some Honnethian themes.
