Nancy Fraser (philosopher)

Nancy Fraser is an influential American philosopher and feminist known for her work on social justice, equality, and democratic theory. She critiques traditional approaches to justice that focus solely on economic distribution, arguing that issues of recognition, such as identity and cultural belonging, are equally important. Fraser advocates for a more inclusive understanding of justice that combines both redistribution and recognition. Her concepts encourage discussions about how societal structures impact marginalized groups and highlight the need for diverse voices in democratic processes. Through her work, she aims to create a more equitable society by integrating various dimensions of justice.
