Association Between Posttraumatic Stress Disorder and Epigenetic Age Acceleration in a Sample of Twins
OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) has been related to accelerated biological aging processes, but objective evidence for this association is limited. DNA methylation (DNAm) age acceleration is a novel measure of biological aging that may help clarify if PTSD is related to biological aging processes. We aim to examine whether PTSD is associated with biological aging using a comprehensive set of DNAm age acceleration markers and to wh…

Work as a realm of social freedom
In this chapter, Nicholas H. Smith inquires whether work and the social roles attaching to it can embody what he, following Axel Honneth, calls ‘social freedom’. A richly intersubjective conception, social freedom obtains when people can identify with their social roles, cooperate with one another in ways contributing to each other’s self-realization, and have an effective say over the performance of their shared activity. From this emancipatory …
Pragmatist Transcendence in Rorty’s Metaphilosophy
This article argues that a pragmatist ambition to transcendence undergirds Richard Rorty’s metaphilosophy. That transcendence might play a positive role in Rorty’s work might seem implausible given his well-known rejection of the idea that human practices are accountable to some external, Archimedean standpoint, and his endorsement of the historicist view that standards of rationality are products of time and chance. It is true that Rorty’s contr…
Arendt's anti-humanism of labour
The aim of this article is to situate Arendt's account of labour as a critical response to humanisms of labour, or put otherwise, to situate it as an anti-humanism of labour. It compares Arendt's account of labour with that of the most prominent humanist theorist of labour at the time of the composition of The Human Condition: Georges Friedmann. Arendt's and Friedmann's accounts of labour are compared specifically with respect to the range of cap…

Rationality and Engagement
The article examines John McDowell's attempt to rehabilitate the classical idea of the rational animal and Hubert Dreyfus's criticisms of that attempt. After outlining the ‘engaged’ conception of rationality which, in McDowell's view, enables the idea of the rational animal to shake off its intellectualist appearance, the objections posed by Dreyfus are presented that such a conception of rationality is inconsistent with the phenomena of everyday…
Three Normative Models of Work
One of the distinctive features of the post-Hegelian tradition of social philosophy is the connection it forges between normative criticism and historical understanding. This chapter discusses the normative models of work which are frameworks for normative criticism in this post-Hegelian sense. According to the first model, the instrumental model, the core norms of work are those of means-ends rationality. The second model, the expressive model, …
Introduction
Anticipations of recognition, and the demands and struggles that may follow when the recognition is refused, are an abiding feature of the social world.But it is only in the past couple of decades that they have become an explicit focus of philosophical and scientific inquiry. 1 Reflecting the rising visibility of struggles for recognition in the public sphere of late modern societies, two publications, both appearing in 1992, got the current aca…
Work, Recognition and the Social Bond
The linguistic turn in post-Hegelian thought is a response to another way of carrying out the post-Hegelian agenda. Two developments in particular call for brief consideration: first, the transition from a production paradigm to a language paradigm; and second, the shift from the language paradigm to a recognition paradigm. Only when the basic features of the recognition paradigm are in view will we be able to see the opportunity it presents for …
Recognition Theory as Social Research
Presents the case for an exciting new research program in the social sciences based on the theory of recognition developed by Axel Honneth and others in recent years. The theory provides a frame for revealing new insights about conflicts and the potential of recognition theory to guide just resolutions of these conflicts is also explored

Recognition, Culture And Economy
This chapter focuses on the strategies for articulating the relation between economy and culture in capitalist society, and even here the author has only scratched the surface. What does emerge a little more clearly is the extent to which the fundamental problems at issue in their debate are framed, behind the scene as it were, by Habermas, and in particular his appropriation of the categorial apparatus of systems theory. Honneth's anti anti-norm…
Work and the Struggle for Recognition
This article examines a neglected but crucial feature of Honneth's critical theory: its use of a concept of recognition to articulate the norms that are apposite for the contemporary world of work. The article shows that from his first writings on the structure of critical social theory in the early 1980s to the recent exchange with Nancy Fraser on recognition and redistribution, the problem of grounding a substantive critique of work under capit…
Taylor on Solidarity
After characterizing Taylor's general approach to the problems of solidarity, we distinguish and reconstruct three contexts of solidarity in which this approach is developed: the civic, the socio-economic, and the moral. We argue that Taylor's distinctive move in each of these contexts of solidarity is to claim that the relationship at stake poses normatively justified demands, which are motivationally demanding, but insufficiently motivating on …
Levinas, Habermas and modernity
This article examines Levinas as if he were a participant in what Habermas has called `the philosophical discourse of modernity'. It begins by comparing Levinas' and Habermas' articulations of the philosophical problems of modernity. It then turns to how certain key motifs in Levinas' later work give philosophical expression to the needs of the times as Levinas diagnoses them. In particular it examines how Levinas interweaves a modern, post-ontol…
Charles Taylor
Charles Taylor is beyond question one of the most distinctive figures in the landscape of contemporary philosophy. In a time of increasing specialization Taylor's ability to contribute to philosophical conversations across a wide spectrum of ideas is distinctive and impressive. These areas include moral theory, theories of subjectivity, political theory, epistemology, hermeneutics, philosophy of mind, philosophy of language and aesthetics. His mo…
