Reconocimiento y menosprecio. Sobre la fundamentación normativa de una teoría social

"+ La lucha por el reconocimiento debe ser considerada un fenómeno claramente diferenciado de la naturaleza moral, así como una acción social (Entrevista de Daniel Gamper Sachse)".

«Once we clearly grasp the significance of the struggle for recognition, we will get a clear sense of the challenge facing the developed democracies of the West. Because of what has become a structurally high level of unemployment, a constantly increasing number of people are denied even the chance to receive the form of recognition I have termed social esteem. [...]Without a radical expansion of what should reasonably and justifiably be called "labor", this emerging struggle for recognition cannot be resolved.»
