Abstract
This paper was inspired by a debate that I was first introduced to in Chris Latiolais's
Continental Philosophy class. While reading Axel Honneth's Struggle for Recognition and
Jiirgen Habermas's Theory of Communicative Action, the debate over which critical theorist
most effectively accounted for social problems arose. In this paper, I have trotted out each
of their theories and retraced the steps they have taken to reach their conclusion; going back
to the theories of Karl Marx, Friedreich Hegel, Donald Winnicott, George Herbert Mead, John
Locke, and those that inspired them.
