Abstract
Honneth's theory of recognition has become most influential in social philosophy as well as in sociology. In this article the explanatory power of the concept of recognition is examined. There are three major problems with Honneths conceptualization of recognition as the core principle of social interactions and modern institutions: Firstly, whether intimate relations are really normatively to be understood as governed by mutual and symmetrical recognition has been questioned. Secondly, the theory oscillates between empirical backing and ideal construction. And thirdly, the dimension of self respect as a result of poietic action and not merely of intersubjective relations is underrated by Honneth.
