Abstract

In recent socio-philosophical discussion the concepts of recognition and struggle for recognition have played a central role, particularly in their reference back to Hegel. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to the fact that Hegel has elaborated these concepts precisely in their different determinations, but at the same time he has consciously relativized them historically: the process of recognition and the struggle for recognition –in pregnant philosophical sense- have their place before their entrance in civil society and also before their entrance in the international community. „Recognition“ is therefore also a pre-social concept. And likewise Hegel formulates it drastically; recognition is something „for slaves“; in today‘s developped sociality and in international relationships the struggle for recognition is already at hand, more than something that can be attained.
