Feeling Unrecognized Quotes

“Every society possesses what the philosopher Axel Honneth calls a “recognition order.” This is the criteria used to confer respect and recognition on some people and not others. In our society, we confer huge amounts of recognition on those with beauty, wealth, or prestigious educational affiliations, and millions feel invisible, unrecognized, and left out.”
― David Brooks, How to Know a Person: The Art of Seeing Others Deeply and Being Deeply Seen
