Critical theorists have been aware of both injustice in practice and the serious deficits in social research of injustice which have been made by various traditional and contemporary studies. Critical theory also makes it possible to develop an alternative description of the society and a normative articulation of the required state of society. However, it can be done in various ways. This book offers essays focusing on a connection between injustice and misrecognition, respectively justice and recognition (Anerkennung). The formulation of the issue of justice and recognition is closely linked with Axel Honneth as a Critical theorist who mostly contributed to philosophical and social scientific research on recognition.

The book shows and evaluates what the contributions of Honneth’s theory of social recognition and its relation to justice are. The book as the whole contributes to the current theoretical discussions on justice at domestic and global levels, and presents the significant role of recognition in them.
