This book outlines a new conception of political aesthetics based on the notion
of order as an aesthetic category pertaining to human perception. Engaging
with the thought of a range of figures, including Veblen, Honneth, Foucault,
Popper, and MacIntyre, it explores the nature of political aesthetics as an
enquiry into the ways in which politics and our perceptions shape one another
and our moral choices. Moving beyond the consideration of politics as a
matter of perception, the author employs the concept of recognition to shed
fresh light on the normative dimensions of politics, before presenting a series of
case studies designed to show the utility of this conception of political aesthetics
for explaining contemporary urban social phenomena and political
conflicts. As such, Politics and Recognition will appeal to sociologists, philosophers,
and political social theorists.
