Summary/Abstract: This article analyzes the concept of recognition within contemporary critical theory through a comparative examination of the theoretical approaches of Jurgen Habermas and Axel Honneth. The study traces the philosophical genesis of the idea of mutual recognition in the tradition of German idealism, from Immanuel Kant and Johann Gottlieb Fichte to Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, as well as its further development in the social psychology of George Herbert Mead. Against this backdrop, the article examines different interpretations of social integration, the normative foundations of social order, and the mechanisms of social conflict in the works of Habermas and Honneth. While Habermas emphasizes the theory of communicative action and discourse ethics as the basis of social integration, Honneth develops a normative theory in which struggles for recognition are interpreted as a driving force of moral progress. The article highlights the significance of the concept of recognition as an analytical framework for understanding contemporary social conflicts and the pursuit of social justice.
