The Experience of Injustice by Emmanuel Renault
In The Experience of Injustice, the French philosopher Emmanuel Renault opens an important new chapter in critical theory. Inspired by Axel Honneth, Renault argues that a radicalized version of Honneth's ethics of recognition can provide a systematic alternative to the liberal-democratic projects of such thinkers as Rawls and Habermas.-

Critical Theory in Critical Times
For everyone who rightly assumes that social critique has to start from a diagnosis of what is in society experienced as an injustice or as a form of disrespect, this book is both a rich compendium and a theoretical guidelineEmmanuel Renault has done a magnificent job in outlining the empirical and philosophical contours of a critical theory based on a theory of recognition. -- Axel Honneth, author of Freedom's Right: The Social Foundations of Democratic Life
Taking its theoretical problems and political orientation from contemporary experiences of injustice—the social and psychic sufferings of the dispossessed and deprived, the excluded and marginalized, the stigmatized, the invisible, the devalued—Renault's book proposes a major reconception of the theory of justice. Renault incisively organizes critical social theory, sociology, and psychoanalysis around a theory of the denial of recognition in its manifold forms, boldly calling for political philosophy to take sides and become a spokesperson against injustice. -- Christopher F. Zurn, author of Axel Honneth
The Experience of Injustice is a major intervention into the field of critical political and social theory, pushing theories of justice and recognition to be more social, political, and activist. It will be heralded as a leading contribution to the field. -- James Ingram, author of Radical Cosmopolitics
Renault’s book should be welcomed by political philosophers working on theories of justice, identity politics, social movements, the limits of liberalism, and critical theory more generally...for philosophers working on the politics of recognition, the book is essential reading. -- Gabriel Gottlieb, Xavier University * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
