L'etica degli altri. Violenza e riconoscimento nelle relazioni di cura

The theme of recognition is central in the development of the educational relationship. It involves those social and health practices which – based on normativity, keep the bond between the individual and collectivity going. Starting from Hegel, intersubjectivity is unveiled in its double adaptive and conflictual function, setting out the problematic relation – already delineated by Kant, between autonomy and heteronomy. The essay referring to Hegel as well as to experts in contemporaneity such as Kojève, Foucault, Habermas and Honneth, analyses the different facets through which, in the health practices, the fabric of educational dialectic is woven.
