Contested Codes: The Social Construction of Napster
In the 5 years since its inception, some interpretations of the software program known as Napster have been inscribed into laws, business plans, and purchasing decisions while others have been pushed to the fringes. This article examines how and why certain assumptions about Napster have gained greater currency while others have not. Our analytical approach involves an examination of discourse about Napster in several arenasâ legal, economic, soc…
V. A Rationalist Malgré Lui: The Perplexities of Being Michael Oakeshott
APART FROM HIS WORK AS AN INTERPRETER of Hobbes, Oakeshott's significance as a political philosopher prior to the publication of On Human Conduct 1 may fairly be said to be encompassed in, and derive from, his essay “Political Education.” 2 To be sure, he has written a good deal before and after that essay, but the bulk of those writings—not least the papers collected in his Rationalism in Politics-are in one way or another glosses on the central…

For if the right man does rule, Socrates argued, neither institutional nor other controls-e.g., law-need to be employed. Because he is the right man, he will do the right things: he will rule wisely; he will establish or, where already established, he will perp…

Democracy and the Problem of Civil Disobedience
If Sophocles were alive today to recast the dilemma of Antigone in contemporary, if less sanguine, terms, he might well seize on the problem of the citizen who refuses to answer questions put to him by a congressional investigating committee. Antigone, you will recall, was torn between two loyalties. Her religion commanded her to bury the body of her brother, while her state commanded that his body be left, unburied and unmourned, to be eaten by …
