Recognition by Cillian Mcbride
Everyone cares about recognition: no one wants to be treated with disrespect, insulted, humiliated, or simply ignored. In this compelling new book, McBride examines how a basic need for recognition is the motivation behind struggles for inclusion and equality in contemporary society.
"McBride is a sure-footed guide to the recognition literature and a clear-eyed judge of the claims to be found thereThis is a very fine book."
Philip Pettit, Princeton University
"Cillian McBride's penetrating and broad-ranging study gives a sympathetic hearing to the claims of recognition but also exposes a multitude of errors and false assumptions in the thinking that has dominated the subject. His insightful analysis and acute criticism deliver a radical reappraisal of how we should respond to demands for recognition."
Peter Jones, Newcastle University
"In this book, McBride successfully performs a difficult feat: he gives a wide-ranging and insightful account of the various philosophical, political and sociological aspects of the idea of recognition, while at the same time presenting and providing a persuasive defence of his own 'interactive' conception of recognition."
