The subject of the course is one of the central concepts of the philosophical tradition: the notion of recognition. At the center of the analysis will be the reconstruction of the metamorphoses that have invested this crucial theme in the course of modernity: from the slave-master dialectic introduced by Hegel in section IV of the "Phenomenology of the spirit" to the most recent theorizations in a hermeneutic and social-philosophical key to work by Paul Ricoeur, Nancy Fraser and Axel Honneth. The course also intends to highlight the crucial importance that the problem of transcultural recognition has come to assume in our present.
