So what kind of solidarity can achieve this? Engaging with recent thought in social and political theory and philosophy (including Honneth, Forst, Ricoeur, Bauman, Sennett, Taylor, Rawls, MacIntyre and many others), this book develops a renewed concept of solidarity based on the notion of 'recognition' with regard to others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith attention to the implications of such an account for justice and judgement - particularly where competing claims for recognition arise - \u003ci\u003eSolidarity in Individualized Societies\u003c\/i\u003e examines what, in a society based on recognition, a fair distribution of recognition would mean. The book provides a critical analysis of trends in modern culture and in the policy on welfare that seem to constitute obstacles to solidarity and social cohesion. It is a rigorous examination of forms of solidarity that may sustain social cohesion in the contemporary Western world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to scholars and students of sociology, social theory, politics and philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Søren Juul\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415640989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415640985\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Søren Juul","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658865455359,"sku":"9780415640985","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/solidarity-in-individualized-societies-szuren-juul-9780415640985","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
