Reconsidering cosmopolitanism and forgiveness
Reconfiguring essential and discretionary public goods
When is state coercion for the provision of public goods justified? And how should the social surplus of public goods be distributed? Philosophers approach these questions by distinguishing between essential and discretionary public goods. This article explains the intractability of this distinction, and presents two upshots. First, if governments provide configurations of public goods that simultaneously serve essential and discretionary purpose…
Public goods in Michael Oakeshott’s ‘world of pragmata
Michael Oakeshott’s account of political economy is claimed to have found its ‘apotheosis under Thatcherism’. Against critics who align him with a preference for small government, this article points to Oakeshott’s stress on the indispensability of an infrastructure of government-provided public goods, in which individual agency and associative freedom can flourish. I argue that Oakeshott’s account of political economy invites a contestatory poli…

Public Goods and the Commons
The commons have emerged as a key notion and underlying experience of many efforts around the world to promote justice and democracy. A central question for political theories of the commons is whether the visions of social order and regimes of political economy they propose are complementary or opposed to public goods that are backed up by governmental coordination and compulsion. This essay argues that the post-Marxist view, which posits an inh…

Specters of Arendt
Resume La menace de la domination totalitaire, la résurgence des nationalismes et de la xénophobie, les revendications religieuses dans des sociétés sécularisées, l’importance d’institutions politiques et légales robustes : tels sont les principales questions qui traversent – ou les spectres qui hantent – la pensée politique, ancrée dans le 20 e siècle, d’Hannah Arendt. Cette introduction offre un aperçu de la manière dont les contributeurs à ce …
Le libéralisme politique se réfute-t-il lui-même
Cet article soutient que le libéralisme politique se réfute lui-même en tant que cadre de justification. L'argument procède en deux étapes. Premièrement, on affirme que le critère auto-imposé d'acceptabilité par tous les êtres raisonnables du libéralisme politique aboutit à une logique régressive dans le contenu substantiel du consensus par recoupement. Deuxièmement, on considère que la recherche du consensus est intrinsèquement controversée en r…
Democratic Legitimacy, Desirability and Deficit in EU Governance
In light of multiple and existential crises, longstanding concerns about the European Union’s (EU) quest for democratic legitimacy are ever more acute. Many think such concerns can be best addressed if European institutions would become better problem-solvers and more effective crisis-managers. Stronger performance by European institutions would supposedly reinforce the EU’s democratic credentials. In this article, we reject such ‘output’ oriente…
