Against Recognition

The struggle for recognition features prominently in the work of various thinkers. Lois McNay argues that the insights of the recognition theorists are undercut by their reliance on an inadequate account of power. By focussing on issues of gender she develops an alternative account of individual agency that connects identity to structure.

Lois McNay is Reader in Social and Political Theory and a Fellow of Somerville College at the University of Oxford.
