NORMATIVITY IN CRITIQUE: HOW THE THEORY OF SUBJECTIVATI ON ADVANCES THE THEORY OF RECOGNITION1

Original language description

This paper provides an overview of the contemporary theories on critique and normativity. By conceptualizing the tensions and conver-gences between critical and normative theory, contemporary scholars argue that critical theory is normative or at least possesses normative con-tent. The focus is placed on the theory of recognition and the theory of subjectivation. The paper asserts that the normative content of critical theory - universal norms of justice - manifests as a critique of inequa lity and injustice, a perspective prominently articulated in the contemporary theory of recognition developed by Axel Honneth, Franck Fischbach, and Emmanuel Renault. Both Axel Honneth and Judith Butler establish a closer link between Foucauldian critical theory and the objectives of the theory of recognition. Drawing on Foucault&apos;s critique of subjugation, Butler highlights the connection between recognition and subjectivation, empha si-zing the convergence of self-recognition and the constitution of the self as a subject. Thus, the theory of recognition, as a critical theory with normative content, finds its own foundations in Foucault&apos;s critique of subju-gation. In this context, the concept of subjectivation emerges as a central category in the further development of the theory of recognition.
