Abstract
By utilising Axel Honneth’s recognition-theoretic framework alongside empirical data, this
research aims to synthesise theory and practice in order to gain a better understanding of
how individuals from the Sunni Muslim community living within the Republic of Ireland’s
[ROI] capital city, Dublin, perceive how they are recognised within four distinct
intersubjective arenas of everyday life – within their familial unit, their religio-cultural
community, and the broader legal and societal spheres of interaction. This chapter aims to
provide further insights into the perceptions of a relatively understudied minority population
and gain a better understanding of the recent transition the ROI has made from being a
predominantly homogenous society to one of increasing religio-cultural heterogeneity and
plurality. Based on twenty-five qualitative semi-structured interviews, the research finds that
although perceptions of misrecognition exist within each particular intersubjective sphere, the
majority of interviewees perceive recognition as being fulfilled within the first three spheres;
whilst the fourth arena – the societal sphere – is empirically verified as the location in which
pathologies of disrespect are most evident and extensive, particularly in relation to various
forms of discrimination and negative media representation.
