The market antinomy
The moral status of the modern market economy is contested amongst philosophers and social theorists. Some argue that it is a moral order; others argue that it is not a moral order. In Frankfurt School critical theory, the former argument is defended by Axel Honneth, and the latter by Jürgen Habermas and Joseph Heath. In this article, I review the strengths and weaknesses of both arguments and suggest a novel way forward. I conceive of the contra…
Competition and Justice in Adam Smith
This article analyzes the relationship between competition and justice in Adam Smith in order to determine to what extent competition can promote and undermine justice. I examine how competition features in two basic motivations for human action, “the propensity to truck barter and exchange,” and “the desire of bettering our condition.” Both can be traced back to the desire for recognition, but they operate in very different ways. The former mani…
Adorno on hope
I argue that Theodor W. Adorno's philosophy articulates a radical conception of hope. According to Lear, radical hope is 'directed toward a future goodness that transcends the current ability to understand what it is'. Given Adorno's claim that the current world is radically evil, and that we cannot know or even imagine what the good is, it is plausible that his conception of hope must be radical in this sense. I develop this argument through an …
Korporation und Sittlichkeit: Zur Aktualität von Hegels Theorie der bürgerlichen Gesellschaft
Hegel war einer der ersten Theoretiker, der die soziale Bedeutung der zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts entstehenden Marktgesellschaft reflektierte. Er betont dabei die Gefahren dieser Vergesellschaftungsform, aber auch deren emanzipative Potenziale. Letztere entfalten sich für ihn mit Hilfe der Institution der Korporation. In korporativen Vereinigungen verwandelt sich das zweckorientierte Gegeneinander der Marktakteure in wechselseitige Solidarität…
Dignity, Esteem, and Social Contribution: A Recognition‐Theoretical View
and two anonymous referees for JPP, for helpful comments.1 This recognition-theoretical view is developed in Honneth 1996, 2003a, and in Anderson and Honneth 2005.In this paper I draw freely on Honneth's work, but I also depart from it when necessary.My aim is to make the recognition-theoretical view useful for the analysis of dignity, not to offer an "orthodox" Honnethian interpretation of dignity. 2 For similar distinctions see also Darwall 197…
Is the Market a Sphere of Social Freedom
In this paper I examine Axel Honneth's normative reconstruction of the market as a sphere of social freedom in his 2014 book, Freedom's Right. Honneth's position is complex: on the one hand, he acknowledges that modern capitalist societies do not realize social freedom; on the other hand, he insists that the promise of social freedom is implicit in the market sphere. In fact, the latter explains why modern subjects have seen capitalism as legitim…
