    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Recognition, as Hegel theorizes in the Phenomenology, is a reciprocal relation requiring that the recognized entity can return the recognitive act.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Institutions lack the reflexive self-consciousness necessary to receive, internalize, or be altered in their self-understanding by another's recognitive stance.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Therefore, what institutions receive is at most Anerkennung in its bare acknowledgment sense, not the identity-constituting recognition Honneth terms Anerkennung as esteem or love.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Axel Honneth's tripartite framework grounds misrecognition specifically in the withholding of conditions necessary for subjects to achieve successful self-realization.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Institutions, as Rawlsian 'basic structures' or Searlean systems of deontic status functions, have no self-realization to be impaired—their functional integrity is disrupted, not their dignity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Conflating institutional dysfunction with misrecognition category-errors the moral harm at stake, obscuring that the injured party remains always the persons the institution fails to serve.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Institutions, similar to values and norms, are either acknowledged or not.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Only persons or groups subject to institutions can be properly (mis)recognized because only there does (mis)recognition have consequences for the object's self-conception.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    When it comes to the question of collective agents, there is still considerable uncertainty within the literature. In the following, this entry distinguishes between (i) groups, (ii) corporations or states and (iii) institutions more generally. (i) Most authors readily grant that (at least certain) groups of persons may be the subject and object of (mis)recognition because a group can share collective intentions as well as certain features for which it can be misrecognized (especially if these f
