Axel Honneth is internationally renowned as one of the leading critical theorists of our time and is highly regarded for his development of the theory of recognition. In these two interviews, Axel Honneth sets out the formal modalities, normative contents, and normative justifications of the critique of capitalism that he has developed in his book Freedom's Right. After briefly defining his conception of capitalist market society, he presents his method of normative reconstruction and the formal modalities of his critique of capitalism. He then sets out his critical diagnosis and solutions to the normative misdevelopments produced by capitalism and concludes, finally, with a discussion and justification of the normative ideal of social freedom at the core of his theory
