The distinction between lives that are recognized, supported, and enabled to be sustained by prevailing norms, and those that are unrecognized, excluded, and rendered abject.

Açıklama

The distinction between lives that are recognized, supported, and enabled to be sustained by prevailing norms, and those that are unrecognized, excluded, and rendered abject. The research demonstrates that degrees of livability depend on regimes of recognition, access to rights, and the availability of protective institutions; consequently, the question of whether all lives should be equally livable occupies a central place in Butler’s thought.
