A rationalist theory of legitimacy

Více o knize

Exploring the nature of political institutions, the book delves into their pervasive influence on our lives and the moral implications of such power. It seeks to establish a theory of political legitimacy, guided by four foundational commitments: a moral framework centered on individual rights, a rejection of anarchism, a critique of democratic justification theories, and the assertion that individuals do not have a general obligation to obey laws. Through this lens, the author examines the justification of political authority in a nuanced manner.
