A Comparative Study of Recognition Theories of Honneth and Ricoeur
Since the second half of the 20th century,Hegel's concept of"recognition"has been gradually reconstructed,and German scholar Honneth's and French scholar Ricoeur's reconstructions are the most representative results with different purviews.This paper makes a comparative study of the two scholars'recognition theories from three dimensions:thought sources,reconstruction logic,and triple recognition models.It holds that:Honneth further empiricized Hegel's concept of recognition,emphasized the struggle aspect,and regarded shame,anger,and other negative emotions as the driving force.Ricoeur divided the recognition process into three phases—identity of recognition,self recognition,and mutual recognition.He believed that there is a position of responsibility between humiliation and the will to fight,and emphasized the gratitude cycle of recognition.In the field of social policy,the reconstructed concept of recognition begins to question the basic principles of social policy.This suggests that in the context of social transformation,we also need to conduct a more profound theoretical inquiry into the analysis focus of China's social policy and its axis principle.
