在回应詹妮尔·s·泰勒（Janelle S. Taylor）那篇美丽的文章时，我们可以从她发现自己一再被要求见证和承认的失败场景开始。在照顾一位患有进行性痴呆症的母亲时，泰勒陷入了“困难的事情”之中，她一次又一次地被问到同样的问题：“她认出你了吗？”泰勒的文章尖锐地质疑了这些手势中假定的认可形式，这些手势来自一系列值得约伯祝福的人。在一个（我们称之为当代或晚期自由主义的）时间和框架中，承认和被承认的双重关系制定了作为人的权利并使其合法化，泰勒展示了痴呆症患者如何解除了这种关系的充分性，以实现一种关系伦理。在反复出现的“认知”中（这里是痛苦的），我们该如何思考？Taylor对Paul Ricoeur的使用，以及她对Nancy Fraser， Charles Taylor和Avishai Margalit的局限的研究，使她的作品与女权主义和酷儿以及后来的后殖民学术中出现的相关批评相媲美（Brown 2006; Butler 1997; Mehta 1999）。在一个多元文化的定居者社会背景下，伊丽莎白·波维内利（Elizabeth Povinelli）所说的“自由散居”（“主观的、制度性的、话语性的认同、分散和对启蒙思想的阐述，即社会应该在理性的相互理解的基础上组织起来”）在这里进一步扩展到我们和其他人阐明与痴呆症患者关系中相互理解的限制的语言和感觉
One might start, in responding to Janelle S. Taylor's beautiful essay, with the scene of failure that she finds herself repeatedly called to witness and acknowledge. Having become involved in the" difficult things" encompassed by caring for a mother living with progressive dementia, Taylor is again and again asked the same question:" Does she recognize you?" Taylor's essay incisively troubles the form of recognition presumed in such gestures from a series of well-wishers worthy of Job. In a time and framework (that we gloss as contemporary or late liberalism) in which the dual relation of recognizing and being recognized enacts and legitimates rights as persons, Taylor demonstrates how the person with dementia undoes the adequacy of this relation for an ethic of relatedness.How might we think in the iterated presence (here, painfully) of" recognition"? Taylor's use of Paul Ricoeur and her working through the limits of Nancy Fraser, Charles Taylor, and Avishai Margalit place her work in good company with related critiques emerging out of feminist and queer and later postcolonial scholarship (Brown 2006; Butler 1997; Mehta 1999). What in the context of a multicultural settler society Elizabeth Povinelli called" liberal diaspora"(" subjective, institutional, and discursive identifications, dispersions, and elaborations of the enlightenment idea that society should be organized on the basis of rational mutual understanding") is here further extended to the words and feelings by which we and others articulate the limits to mutual understanding in relations with persons with dementia (Povinelli
