Reasonable Disagreement: Hart and the rule of recognition
http://reasonabledisagreement.blogspot.com/2010/11/hart-and-rule-of-recognition.html
Sunday, November 21, 2010. Hart and the rule of recognition. In the Concept of Law. HLA Hart set forth his theory of the rule of recognition. An interesting aspect of this idea is that it attempts to solve a problem of legal validity/authority (the “chicken or egg” problem) by introducing an observable practice among officials and subjects as the foundation of all legal systems. When one is confronted with a rule R claiming legal authority, a question arises: “what gives this rule R authority? He states ...

http://reasonabledisagreement.blogspot.com/2012/02/deliberative-vs-participatory-citizens.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Deliberative vs. Participatory citizens. This is an interesting passage from Jason Brennan’s The Ethics of Voting. Let’s describe two kinds of democratic citizens. Citizens have frequent crosscutting political discussion. That is, they frequently consider and respond to contrary views. They are careful in forming their own political preferences. They are able to articulate good reasons on behalf of contrary views. They have high levels of political knowledge. Be the one truth ...
