Debates in applied ethics about the proper treatment of animals often refer to empirical data about animal cognition, emotion, and behavior. In addition, there is increasing interest in the question of whether any nonhuman animal could be something like a moral agent.

In this paper I draw from critical work on the historical, social, political, economic, and cultural functions of race, to trace how Axel Honneth's recognition as a critical social theory of justice is activated through racial thinking. In my analyses, I outline the need to theorize recognition as a "racial recognition"; complicating current theories, which seem to continuously inscribe the bourgeois white male as the true provider of justice and the bearer of rights; the true subject. Critical questions for social work are raised. How might race/racial thinking underlie our visions of social justice, and who benefits from this? What happens when we re-view the social and political justice intentions of social work through the lens of global white supremacy, say, as we move towards international development work in the global south? This paper presents important theoretical positions on race and the "morality" of recognition as social justice, which contribute highly to critical, socio-political, anti-racist social work theory and practice.

Reviews the contributions of the cognitive approach in helping political psychologists to understand how citizens think about the world of politics. Considers research concerned with both the mental structure or representation of information about the political world and research concerned with specifying the cognitive processes that produce political judgments and opinion, and concludes that political cognition scholarship has begun to live up to its promise. Suggests a research agenda for the future, pointing to directions for extending the political cognition paradigms. (Original abstract - amended)
