The Criticism of Concepts and the Concept of Criticism: A Rejoinder
Apart from the rather engaging phrasing of its title, Macpherson's reply to my criticisms of him must be judged a disappointment. For it either misses or entirely avoids their point.I must remind Macpherson that it is he, not I, who conceives the task of political theory as one which deduces political obligation from the nature of man, or derives obligation from fact. Consequently, it is incumbent upon him to show how this is to be done. He now c…
C. B. Macpherson's Conceptual Apparatus
Dans l'exposé de sa philosophie politique et dans ses critiques de celles des autres, C. B. Macpherson utilise le concept de « déduction » pour désigner l'élaboration du rapport faits-valeur, celui d'« essence » pour décrire les faits relatifs à la nature humaine et celui de « capacites normatives » par opposition à « capacités descriptives » comme caractérisant les divers idéaux des hommes. Cependant sa terminologie est obscure et prête à confus…
The Source of Kant's Mature Moral Theory
Some thirty years ago Klaus Reich claimed that Kant's abandonment of feeling as the source of our moral appraisals was due to his reading of Plato and the Stoics, and more interestingly that it led him to the fundamental concept of his mature moral theory, the autonomy of the will. Despite the obvious importance of the latter claim, it seems to have gone either unnoticed or unchallenged, at least in the English philosophical literature. This is p…
Ake on Political Obligation and Political Dissent: A Gloss
As the background to his view that the liberal democratic theory of political obligation implies, under appropriate circumstances, not a right but a duty to resist one's government, Ake provides a judicious account not only of liberal democratic theory but also of utilitarian and legal positivist theory. None the less, his three synopses reveal the almost inevitable hazards of such accounts. The issue is not merely a historical one, for in each c…

Intelligibility and Free Choice
Whether or not men have free choice is a question which arises within two distinct moral contexts. At issue in the one is their ability to decide among genuine alternatives; in the other their ability to do what they think they ought to do although their desire to perform their duty is weaker than their desire to do otherwise. The former has to do with moral decision; (he latter with moral effort. Although the two are distinct they are not unrela…
