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.
