Possibly the best book I've ever read in the "sphere" of social justice. Fraser's "two-dimensional" theory of justice in particular I think will stick with me for the rest of my life, as a cogent method for understanding and breaking down social divisions into their constituent parts, searching for causes, and developing praxis for dismantling them. I know I'm hyping it hella much here, but in a certain sense it's the perfect fusion of Marxian economic/material and Weberian "social status"-based perspectives on inequality/social divisions/oppression and their linkages with historical and contemporary institutions (media, education, taxation and wealth redistribution, etc.). Concretely, anyone interested in how we can balance Marxian perspectives on social justice with more "identity politics"-based perspectives should go read this book right now.

yea i didn't read it all bc jesus christ honneth's part is so boring. i cannot believe i read half of it.
fraser's theory on redistribution/recognition left a big impact on me when i first read her thoughts while still in uni so ofc i agree w/ her points lol only worth checking for her part really. but other reviewers here have said it better than i ever could.
