Opis

It is a pleasure to read a study from anauthor who very evidently not only has a strong graspof the concepts central to his study, but is alsowell versed and widely experienced in the field. Thelatter is evident in the wide range of allusionsprovided by the author throughout the book, and inthe ease with which he draws on any aspect ofphilosophical discourse that he needs - from theGreek classics to contemporary communitarian debates.The author has taken an important (and complex)aspect of identity formation in (late) modernity,perhaps most well known in Charles Taylor'sexplication of the politics of recognition, andconsidered how it might inform a theory ofleadership. The author sets out and defends a theoryof leadership that is not only about the leadershipof recognition, but leadership for recognition, byrecognition, in recognition, and through recognition.
