Description

Richard Gunn:

"In recent years, the term ‘mutual recognition’ has become more central to what I write and argue and say. More specifically, the terms ‘recognition’, and ‘mutual’ recognition have been central to a number of papers that my friend Adrian Wilding and myself have jointly produced’.

Currently, Adrian and I are preparing a book-length version of our views. This presentation attempts to give an account of what, by ‘mutual recognition’, we mean. The term ‘mutual recognition’ has a background in G.W.F. Hegel’s writings. It is, Adrian and I argue, pivotal to the thought and assumptions of Karl Marx. Some references to Hegel’s and Marx’s writings cannot be avoided. Here, I avoid as far as possible textual debate. And no knowledge of Marx’s and Hegel’s writings is assumed."
