Abstract

"Under what conditions are obedience and disobedience required or justified? To what or whom is obedience or disobedience owed? What are the differences between authority and power and between legitimate and illegitimate government? What is the relationship between having an obligation and having freedom to act? What are the similarities and differences among political, legal, and moral obligations?..." Originally published in 1972, Professor Flathman discusses these crucial issues in political theory in a lucid and stimulating argument. Though mainly concerned to develop his own modified utilitarian standing point he also reviews both the classical and modern literature from Plato and Hobbes to Hare and Rawls. The treatment is philosophical but it is frequently related to practical issues of civil obedience and disobedience and in particular focuses on the relation between law, obligation and social change.

Abstract

In a twenty-first century which celebrates freedom and equality while also beginning to question the lax attitudes and methods which have triumphed since the late Sixties, reflecting on the concept of authority is as necessary as ever. What role does, and should, authority play in political, social, and academic organization? Should one plead for stricter or more flexible authority? Where does the frontier between authority and authoritarianism lie? In examining these, and other related questions, this volume, postulating the interconnectedness between authority and discourse, also discusses t

Abstract

Based on nine years of research, The Power of Collective Wisdom shows how we can reliably tap into the extraordinary cocreative potential that exists whenever human beings gather together. Stories and historical examples illustrate how collective wisdom has emerged in a range of cultures, settings, and traditions, and the authors offer a set of practices to help readers realize the key lessons of the book. Equally important, they describe how to recognize the pitfalls of polarization or false agreement that lead to collective folly. Ultimately, this book emerges from a deep conviction that we all have a stake in each other and that what binds us together can be greater than what drives us apart.

Abstract

Die Folgen der Glaubensspaltung stellten auch die Frage nach der politischen Einheit neu. Deren neuzeitliche Theorie findet bei Hobbes ihren Schlüsselbegriff in dem gegen die überlieferte Bedeutung bloßer Stellvertretung geprägten Gedanken der Repräsentation des politischen Gemeinwesens. Kant suchte diesen Gedanken durch Aufklärung des Monarchen mittels der öffentlichen Meinung zu rationalisieren, Fichte dagegen will die Verantwortlichkeit monarchischer Staatsrepräsentation durch ein Gegengewicht in der Verfassung sicherstellen und verfängt sich damit in den Fallstricken der Hobbesianischen Repräsentationslogik. Vor diesem Hintergrund zeigt sich die Entwicklung der Staatsphilosophie Hegels von der Jenaer Kritik des Naturrechts über die Verfassungsschrift von 1802 und die Ständeschrift von 1817 bis hin zur Rechtsphilosophie als ein Versuch, den Repräsentationsbegriff, an einen älteren Strang der theoretischen Überlieferung anknüpfend, als ein zwar notwendiges, aber dennoch nur zusätzliches Moment der Vernünftigkeit des Staates der sich abzeichnenden Klassengegensätze neu zu verorten.

Abstract

Aux deux derniers siècles de la République, et surtout à partir des tribunats des Gracques, les membres de la classe dirigeante romaine utilisèrent la notion de concordia dans les débats qui les opposaient les uns aux autres. Par leurs discours, ils entreprenaient de garantir ou de restaurer les conditions nécessaires à cette concorde des citoyens, et surtout à celle des principaux d'entre eux, les aristocrates, dont l'histoire démontrait qu'elle avait été réalisée par les ancêtres. Dans un contexte de conflit civil, la notion de concordia devint un idéal, car elle était conçue comme la condition indispensable à l'exercice d'un pouvoir de type collégial, c'est-à-dire au maintien, à la tête d'un empire, d'un groupe, les sénateurs, dont l'égalité de puissance impliquait qu'ils s'entendissent pour un accès réglé au faîte des honneurs. Mais parce qu'il s'agissait d'un idéal commun à tous, et alors que les oppositions entre sénateurs se radicalisaient à la fin de la République, cette notion devint le lieu d'un conflit politique majeur lorsque la capacité d'un aristocrate à rétablir ou à maintenir la concorde fut considéré comme un critère décisif de légitimité. L'échec de ce modèle constitua une des évolutions qui conduisit alors au premier triumvirat, puis à la dictature de César, lorsque la concorde ne fut plus cet idéal commun à toute une aristocratie, mais ce que devait défendre une poignée d'entre eux, et finalement un seul.
