A rationalist theory of legitimacy

Más información sobre el libro

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.
