Can the concept of reification, introduced by Georg Lukács in the early 20th century but largely abandoned by its end, inspire 21st-century political theory? Axel Honneth, the leader of the Frankfurt School's third generation, answers by drawing on his theory of recognition and then responds to three eminent critics: Judith Butler, Raymond Geuss, and Jonathan Lear.
