{"product_id":"freedom-s-right-book-axel-honneth-9780231162470","title":"Freedom's Right","description":"Theories of justice often fixate on purely normative, abstract principles unrelated to real-world situations. The philosopher and theorist Axel Honneth addresses this disconnect, and constructs a theory of justice derived from the normative claims of Western liberal-democratic societies and anchored in morally legitimate laws and institutionally established practices. Honneth's paradigm-which he terms \"a democratic ethical life\"-draws on the spirit of Hegel's Philosophy of Right and his own theory of recognition, demonstrating how concrete social spheres generate the tenets of individual freedom and a standard for what is just. Using social analysis to re-found a more grounded theory of justice, he argues that all crucial actions in Western civilization, whether in personal relationships, market-induced economic activities, or the public forum of politics, share one defining characteristic: they require the realization of a particular aspect of individual freedom. This fundamental truth informs the guiding principles of justice, enabling a wide-ranging reconsideration of its nature and application.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51727957229841,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51727958638865,"sku":"CIN0231162472VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0231162472.jpg?v=1751228231","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/freedom-s-right-book-axel-honneth-9780231162470","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
