    Abstract

    The article begins by noting some internal links between the concept of recognition and multiculturalism. It then looks at how the idea of multiculturalism features in three of the main contemporary theories of recognition, those proposed by Charles Taylor, Nancy Fraser and Axel Honneth. It identifies some common misinterpretations of these theories in relation to their claims about multiculturalism and it mentions some other ways in which theories of recognition are relevant to multiculturalism.
