Whereas in the first book, Honneth tends to speak of love, rights and esteem as the three realms of recognition, in the second one he speaks of needs, equality and achievements of work. Although in the second book he gives more attention to the economy, the question remains how the economy, politics, and everyday life are related to each other in a theory of society and justice.\n\nHonneth (2014, 57–58) argues that the concept of labour – and thereby the true analysis of the economy – has almost disappeared from the social sciences because eforts to emancipate labour appear to have lost their credibility. Although he does not mention it explicitly, it is clear that the breakdown of ‘actually existing socialism’ in Eastern Europe has caused a crisis of the idea of a classless society. But at the same time, ‘the hardships, fears and hopes of those immediately afected by societal working conditions revolve around this notion more than ever’ (57). Neoliberalism would have resulted in the ‘economization of social contexts’ and new paradoxes (176). There would be a de-diferentiation of private and professional life, entrepreneurs and employees (‘entreployees’, 179), instrumental and non-instrumental action, the private and the public, the formal and the informal (179–181). It ‘becomes increasingly dificult for subjects to distinguish between instrumental and non-instrumental aspects of intersubjective relationships’ (180). ‘[N]etwork capitalism is colonizing spheres of action that were previously distant from utility’ (180). The colonisation of (almost) everything by capitalist logic calls modernity’s relative separation of spheres into question.\n\nAlso in his debate with Nancy Fraser on the relationship of redistribution and recognition, Honneth argues for a ‘“moral” monism’ (Fraser and Honneth 2003, 254), in which three spheres of society represent three forms of demands for recognition. Moral recognition is for Honneth the unifying principle of society. Love, law and achievement would be the three forms of recognition in modern society (138). The achievements created by a ‘productive citizen’s labour emerged in capitalist society as a ‘third sphere of recognition alongside love and the new legal principle in the developing capitalist society’ (141). The spheres of intimacy, the legal system and working life would bring about three forms of recognition: ‘“Love” (the central idea of intimate relationships), the equality principle (the norm of legal relations), and the achievement principle (the standard of social hierarchy) represent normative perspectives with reference to which subjects can reasonably argue that existing forms of recognition are inadequate or insuficient and need to be expanded’ (143).\n\nThe Internet, Social Media and Axel Honneth’s Interpretation of Georg Lukács’ Theory\n\n161","previous_page":160,"next_page":162}
