@ebah_joemary Dear Ebah JoeMary,
this is NOT the official account of Axel Honneth, but a Spanish account ABOUT him.
In order to get in touch personally I would suggest writing him an email at his address at Columbia University.

Probablemente, nadie conoció mejor a Habermas que @AxelHonneth. Este es el obituario que ha escrito el gran Honneth sobre quien fué su maestro

“La injusticia no se limita a la distribución desigual de los bienes materiales, está dada también por amenazas, violencia o restricción de la capacidad de actuar a través de condiciones institucionales o culturales promoviendo la desigualdad, dominación y opresión”. @AxelHonneth

This is a really special interview for me. My guest Axel Honneth is one of my first teachers who made me fall in love with philosophy.
In college, my biggest struggle was dealing with my own craving for external validation. I found myself racking up achievements I didn't need, to pursue careers I didn't want, all in order to impress people I didn't particularly like.
When I realized this, I decided that I needed to be free from external validation altogether if I wanted to build a healthy self-esteem. So I deleted all of my social media. I moved to Nepal to practice in a Tibetan monastery: I was genuinely considering renouncing the world. Encountering Axel’s work saved me from this other extreme and made me realize I was operating under a false dichotomy.
The way to build a healthy self-esteem is not by rejecting validation altogether, it is by gaining the right kind of external validation. The right question is not: “how do I stop caring what others think of me?” The right question is: “how, from whom, and when should I care?” That is what you will learn in this interview: how to stop living for others, and discover a life truly your own.
But what moved me even more than Axel's ideas is who he is as a person. As one of the most important philosophers, he spent hours every month taking me 1-on-1 carefully through his works. His generosity showed me what a philosophical life was all about.
This interview is special then because it gave me the opportunity almost a decade later to revisit the works that started my journey into philosophy.
