Descrizione

In this article, I want to offer an interpretation of the arguments that Charles Taylor made in The Politics of Recognition (1992) and reflect on their significance for the theme of identity and citizenship. I suggest that the essay left a number of important questions not only unanswered, but largely unasked – in particular concerning the significance of the international dimension of recognition. I then suggest that much of Taylor’s later work (especially his volume A Secular Age, 2007) does provide a rather different way on integrating this perspective into the framework offered by The Politics of Recognition and that, in this respect, his work since that essay has, in fact, deepened and enriched his more strictly political philosophy: the liberal elements that defined the earlier argument have become more qualified and the emphasis on particularity has become greater and more pluralistic.
