Sinossi
Quali sono i fondamenti su cui poggia la legittimità dello Stato, ovvero del paradigma che conforma il nostro pensiero politico? In questo saggio che anticipa l'attuale crisi della rappresentanza, Wolff sviluppa una serrata critica alla "metafisica dello Stato", con cui sostiene l'incompatibilità tra autorità politica statuale e autonomia morale del singolo. Una destrutturazione argomentata della democrazia rappresentativa - a favore di una democrazia diretta vista come anarchia positiva - che mina alle fondamenta l'intera teoria politica tradizionale, riaprendo in tutta la sua complessità la questione della legittimità del potere.

In Defense of Anarchism is an extended essay that is not so much the titular defense of anarchism as it is an offensive against the moral authority of the state, i.e., that there is a case where the state can command an individual even against that person’s moral beliefs.

I can’t say I’ve ever had any interest in anarchism as a political philosophy, but I’ve been curious if any political philosopher has taken it seriously enough to write about.

Wolff wants to find the sweet spot between individual autonomy and the authority of a political entity to govern. This he calls "the fundamental problem of political philosophy." By "autonomy," Wolff means, in the Kantian sense, an individual's free consent. By authority, Wolff means that the indivi Leggi tutto
A struggle. I barely got about halfway through before throwing in the towel. That's especially sad since this thin volume is only around 120 pages. I found the airy-fairy philosophizing too abstract. I don't feel like I really learned anything substantial about Anarchism. I was surprised that the au Leggi tutto
This was a rather disappointing book assigned for PHIL482, "Social & Political Philosophy". The claim that individual moral autonomy is irreconcilable with state authority is correct, but correct in the trivial sense that many contracts or promises are so incompatible. Are all such covenants therefo Leggi tutto
This book is pretty good at explaining one of the core issues in political philosophy: what justifies the authority of the state? However, the positive argument is very weak: it relies on a vague, underdeveloped "Kantian" account of moral autonomy, from which it is not surprising that philosophical
overall, there's some fairly good critique here of "majority rules" voting as a decision-making process, and of governmental authority generally. this includes, but is not limited to, ineffectiveness at consistently choosing policy based on the majority's views or preferences, "wasted votes," and th Leggi tutto
