IB Philosophy 10.9.2 Recognition and the Dialogical Nature of the Self Key Definitions

Definition

Dialogical self

Charles Taylor's concept of the dialogical self holds that human identity is not formed in isolation but is fundamentally shaped through dialogue with others, including spoken conversation, the language of art and gesture, and the inner dialogue we carry on with those who matter to us.

Definition

Politics of recognition

the demand, articulated by Taylor in his essay "The Politics of Recognition" (1992), that social and political institutions acknowledge and respect the distinct identities of individuals and groups, based on the claim that misrecognition or non-recognition inflicts real harm by distorting the self-understanding of those who are denied adequate recognition.

Definition

Self-consciousness

Self-consciousness is the capacity of a being to be aware of itself as an existing subject, to reflect on its own thoughts and experiences, and to recognize itself as distinct from its surroundings and other beings.
