  1. An Instrumentalist Theory of Political Legitimacy.Matthias Brinkmann - 2024 - Oxford: Oxford University Press.
    What justifies political power? Most philosophers argue that consent or democracy are important, in other words, it matters how power is exercised. But this book argues that outcomes primarily matter to justifying power.

  • Occam’s Razor and Non-Voluntarist Accounts of Political Authority.Luke Maring - 2017 - Dialogue 56 (1):159-173.
    Certain non-voluntarists have recently defended political authority by advancing two-part views. First, they argue that the state, or the law, is best (or uniquely) capable of accomplishing something important. Second, they defend a substantive normative principle on which being so situated is sufficient for de jure authority. This paper uses widely accepted tenets to show that all such defenses of authority fail.

  • (1 other version)Reply to Copp, Gaus, Richardson, and Edmundson.David Estlund - 2011 - Ethics 121 (2):354-389.
    This piece is a response to four essays that critically discuss my book Democratic Authority. In addition to responding to their specific criticisms, it takes up several methodological issues that put some of the critiques in a broader context. Among the issues discussed are “normative consent,” which I offer as a new theory of authority; the “general acceptability requirement,” which advances a broadly Rawlsian approach to political justification; and methodological questions about theory building, including a device I dub the “method (...)

  • (1 other version)Estlund’s Promising Account of Democratic Authority.David Copp, Gerald Gaus, Henry S. Richardson, William A. Edmundson, David Estlund & Edward Slingerland - 2011 - Ethics 121 (2):301-334.
    David Estlund’s Democratic Authority develops a novel doctrine of “normative consent,” according to which the nonconsent of those with a duty to consent is null. This article suggests that this doctrine can be defended by confining it to contexts involving consent to an authority, which raise distinctive normative challenges, but argues that Estlund’s attempt to deploy the doctrine fails, for it does not provide convincing reasons to think that citizens have any duty to consent. In closing, the article suggests that (...)

    본 연구에서는 정치적 의무를 규범적으로 정당화하려는 주요한 이론들을 유형별로 분류·검토하였다. 주요 이론들을 유형화하는 틀은 자발적 및 비자발적 요구 그리고 일반적 및 특수적 요구를 조합하여 특수적-비자발적, 특수적-자발적, 일반적-비자발적, 일반적-자발적 범주를 활용하였다. 그 결과 정치적 의무에 대한 결사 이론을 특수적-비자발적 범주로, 상호계약적 설명을 특수적-자발적 범주로, 자연적 의무 이론을 일반적-비자발적 범주로, 그리고 자기-절제 이론을 일반적-자발적 범주로 분류하였고, 각각의 유형이 가지는 장점과 약점을 논의하였다. 대체적으로 볼 때, 정치적 의무를 비자발적 범주에서 파악하려는 이론들은 자발성의 부족으로 인한 동기화의 문제를 가지고 있으며, 자발적 범주의 이론들은 자발성을 확보하는 (...)
