  • Bringing discursive ideals to legal facts: On Baxter on Habermas

    Open Access•Christopher F Zurn•ARTICLE•Philosophy & Social Criticism•2014

    In Between Facts and Norms (1992) Habermas set out a theory of law and politics that is linked both to our high normative expectations and to the realities consequent upon the practices and institutions meant to put them into effect. The article discusses Hugh Baxter’s Habermas: The Discourse Theory of Law and Democracy and the drawbacks he finds in Habermas’ theory. It focuses on raising questions about and objections to some of the author’s lea…

  • Jürgen Habermas: Key Concepts

    Open Access•Max Pensky, Melissa Yates et al.•BOOK•Jurgen Habermas•2011

    The significance of Kant s thought is matched by its complexity. His revolutionary ideas are systematically interconnected and he presents them using a forbidding technical vocabulary. A careful investigation of the key concepts that structure Kant s work is essential to the comprehension of his philosophical project. This book provides an accessible introduction to Kant by explaining each of the key concepts of his philosophy. The book is organi…

  • Judicial Review, Constitutional Juries and Civic Constitutional Fora: Rights, Democracy and Law

    Open Access•Christopher F Zurn•ARTICLE•THEORIA An International Journal…•2011•Cited by: 1

    This paper argues that, according to a specific conception of the ideals of constitutional democracy -deliberative democratic constitutionalism -the proper function of constitutional review is to ensure that constitutional procedures are protected and followed in the ordinary democratic production of law, since the ultimate warrant for the legitimacy of democratic decisions can only be that they have been produced according to procedures that war…

  • The Logic of Legitimacy: Bootstrapping Paradoxes of Constitutional Democracy

    Open Access•Christopher F Zurn•ARTICLE•Legal Theory•2010

    Many have claimed that legitimate constitutional democracy is either conceptually or practically impossible, given infinite regress paradoxes deriving from the requirement of simultaneously democratic and constitutional origins for legitimate government. This paper first critically investigates prominent conceptual and practical bootstrapping objections advanced by Barnett and Michelman. It then argues that the real conceptual root of such bootst…

  • The philosophy of recognition: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

    This volume presents a collection of original papers by eminent international scholars working at the forefront of recognition theory and provides an unparalleled view of the depth and diversity of philosophical research on the topic. Its particular strength is in exploring connections between the history of philosophy and contemporary research by combining in one volume full treatments of classical authors on recognition - Rousseau, Kant, Fichte…

  • Philosophy of Recognition: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives

    Hans-Christoph Schmidt Am Busch, Christopher F Zurn•BOOK•Philosophy of Recognition•2009

    The theory of recognition is now a well-established and mature research paradigm in philosophy, and it is both influential in and influenced by developments in other fields of the humanities and social sciences. From debates in moral philosophy about the fundamental roots of obligation, to debates in political philosophy about the character of multicultural societies, to debates in legal theory about the structure and justification of rights, to …
