Reification by Axel Honneth
Can the concept of reification, introduced by Georg Lukacs in the early 20th century but largely abandoned by its end, inspire 21st-century political theory? Axel Honneth, the leader of the Frankfurt School's third generation, answers by drawing on his theory of recognition and then responds to three eminent critics: Judith Butler, Raymond Geuss, and Jonathan Lear.
..these lectures draw on an impressively wide and varied range of ideas. They are continually engaging, thought provoking and - a rare blessing - a pleasure to read. Without doubt they will stimulate lively discussion of these important issues... * Sean Sayers, Mind *
