Social Democracy (SD) from the inside of the Ivory Tower. Market primacy is more powerful and encompassing than ever, we don't even have any mainstream SD political parties anymore. I suppose this makes Honneth sound radical. In these days of myriad negative externalities, it's quite amazing that Honneth claims we should keep on voting with our wallet and shouting from the back of the room. So distant to the realities of the unrecognised indebted, politically and morally ostracised, and minimum waged masses. Real shame that this is where the Frankfurt School has gone.
Freedom for some, and un-freedoms for many. Today's market dominated socioeconomic reality goes way beyond the idea of simple markets. Honneth misses the point that the moral progressions he talks about are in fact socially/ethically minded interventions, that look to correct the imperfections of the market economy.

Give me some more detail on your assertion.
Living in philosophical heaven?...
I would have thought this is fairly breezy. I think that's what makes him popular for an academic philosopher
