Axel Honneth is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Institut für Sozialforschung, University of Frankfurt, Germany

In these original and imaginative essays, delivered as the Tanner Lectures at the University of California, Berkeley in 2005, the philosopher Axel Honneth attempts to rescue the concept of reification by recasting it in terms of the philosophy of recognition he has been developing over the past two decades.
