abstract

This article attempts to critically evaluate the theory of recognition developed by Axel Honneth with an emphasis on analyzing Honneth‘s implicit notion of power. This critique is based on a combination of empirical insights derived from the sociological analysis of the power elite by C. Wright Mills and the three-dimensional notion of power by Steven Lukes. There is an emphasis on using the method of collective portrait developed by Mills and later updated in the theory of oligarchy by Jeffrey A. Winters. The analysis of oligarchy (and oligarchs) is understood as empirical support for the analysis of power in current society.
