Recent readings of Hegel by significant American philosophers have insisted on the link between recognition & rationality. In these readings, autonomy is defined as the capacity to give the reasons behind one's actions. This paper takes a critical distance towards these Kantian interpretations & returns to earlier German readings of Hegel, culminating in Axel Honneth's ethics of recognition, which placed stronger emphasis on the genetic dimension of recognition. The paper argues that this shift in perspective allows us to take recognition in a more substantive sense & make fuller use of the concept's critical potential. In particular, it allows us to use recognition as a diagnostic tool to identify more precisely the social & cultural obstacles to the realization of autonomy. Adapted from the source document.
