Abstract

The psychological discussion about of recognition theory acquires significant relevance today, since being recognized for the individual, whether socially, politically or culturally, is related to the search for respect and autonomy. Around this debate, Psychology, through the study of subjectivity and Philosophy through ethical-political thinking regarding the concept of recognition, finds in the critical theory of philosopher and sociologist Axel Honneth a way to elucidate the relationship between subjectivity and intersubjectivity. The objective of this article was to understand the ethical-political thinking of the philosophical aspects of Axel Honneth on the theory of recognition, establishing a philosophical-psychological path regarding the importance of making a person happy. The final goal was to incur knowledge on the topic of recognition in the theories of Hegel and Axel Honneth; to differentiate philosophical and psychological subjectivity on the topic of recognition; reflect on the issues of intersubjectivity in the problem of recognition in Philosophy and Psychology and; identify the relationships between recognition and happiness. As a methodological resource, the Phenomenology of Martin Buber and the Spirit of Hegel is presented, establishing a true treaty on recognition that defends concepts such as: morality, ethics and subjectivity, together with Lacanian psychoanalysis. The purpose is to build an understanding of recognition through philosophical ideas, psychological concepts and critical arguments that Honneth develop a trajectory and an argumentative framework around the theme of recognition and what makes a person happy, allowing criticizing the ideas of others philosophers when talking about the topic of recognition.
