"Luís Lóia's research, pursued with analytical rigour through all the relevant writings of the author, is articulated according to three nuclear points: the conceptual treatment of the concepts in question - identity, conflictual diversity, resolving mediation - Taylor's critique of liberalism, in a political sense, not an economic one, for its insufficiency and its propensity to daring, since the principle of neutralization of differences and the atomistic conception of citizenship that sustains it threatens the legitimacy of state power in establishing the common good, concluding with a reconsideration of recognition as a reconfiguration of personal, group and societal identity through the resolving recomposition of major tensions, sustained in their disintegrating potential." (From the prologue - Manuel J. do Carmo Ferreira)
