Fraser wins on points. Mostly jabs thrown, a few body shots, but no dangerous punches. For Fraser, this book has been superseded by her dialogue with Jaeggi. For Honneth, I mean... I'm just not a fan, and he seems to get worse with age. This is a perfectly reasonable statement of what his position was, is, and probably always will be, with the exception of one small essay that, I believe, was written in the midst of the financial crisis, in which he briefly considered that just maybe properly recognizing people won't solve all our problems. Good to know he stuffed those concerns back under the mattress and got on with out Hegeling Hegel.

But seriously, this is a good, quick intro to Honneth in Honneth's own voice, and there's value in that, as well as the great value of literally everything Nancy Fraser does. ( )
