Abstract

The contribution comments on some self-referential moments in Axel Honneth’s discussion of postcolonialism, which may counteract the author’s self-critical reflections on the subject. It points out that his text does not sufficiently succeed in addressing the perspective of those affected in the context of postcolonialism and also that it lacks an attempt to make postcolonial scepticism toward Western justifications of universalism comprehensible. Furthermore, certain one-sided aspects in Honneth’s rhetorical use of ‘we’ are also addressed.
