作为正义的承认——霍耐特承认理论述评

The Recognition as Justice:A Commentary on Honneth's Theory of Recognition

霍耐特从黑格尔、米德、哈贝马斯等人那里汲取思想资源,构建起作为正义的承认理论。他认为,在当代社会,正义产生了从"再分配"到"承认"的转向,人类尊严的承认构成了社会正义的中心原则,合理分配的社会理想的实现依赖于"为承认而斗争"。其承认理论大致涵盖三个方面:承认领域、承认形式、承认原则。承认领域包括情感(原始关系)、权利(法律关系)、社会(价值关系);承认形式包括情感关怀、法律保障、社会团结;承认原则包括需要原则、平等原则、贡献原则。植根于承认伤害的蔑视体验是社会反抗和冲突的道德根源,同时也是社会进步的动力源泉。

Based on the ideological resources of Hegel,Mead and Habermas,Honneth set up his theory of recognition as justice.In his view,the theme of justice turned from 'redistribution' to 'recognition',the recognition of human dignity became the core principle of social justice in contemporary society,and the realization of a society with distributive justice depended on the 'fighting for recognition'.Honneth's recognition theory consists of three issues,the sphere,the form and the principle.The spheres of recognition include emotion(primitive relation),right(legal relation)and society(value relation).The forms of recognition include affective care,legal protection and social cooperation.The principles of recognition include need,equality and contribution.The failure of recognition may lead to the experience of being disrespected,which is the moral cause of social conflicts and also the power of social development.
