Spheres of Equality and Distributive Justice
Among political and legal theories, there is widespread agreement on equality as a normative principle. The present paper’s main argument is constructed as a set, rather than as a system, of isolated positions within the framework of a view of the concepts of justice and equality. The epistemological rejection of foundationalism is accompanied by the methodological priority of politics over philosophy. The central positions derive from the adhere…
Reification, value, and emancipation: Revisiting the normative core of Marx's critique of capitalism
This article reexamines the normative dimension of Marx's critique of capitalism, arguing that value theory and reification carry intrinsic ethical implications. Against readings that detach Marxism from questions of justice, it deploys immanent critique to show that freedom and autonomy are not external ideals but contradictions immanent to capitalist society. Through analyses of alienation, the value-form, and capital's apparent autonomy, it sh…
Legitimacy, power, and authority: A Weberian perspective
This study aims to comprehensively analyze the Weberian concept of legitimacy, focusing on its implications for the empirical strength and stability of a social order. It begins by examining the incentives that ensure the legitimacy of an order, with particular emphasis on the relationship between law and morality. Furthermore, it explores the various theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches to legitimacy found in the literature, hi…
Rousseau’s Ambivalent Perspective on Popular Sovereignty: A Re-Examination of the Social Contract
The Social Contract by Jean-Jacques Rousseau is frequently identified as a pivotal work on the concept of popular sovereignty. This paper explores the nuanced nature of Rousseau’s perspectives on popular sovereignty, arguing that his views are multifaceted and, at times, conflicting. We delve into two primary perspectives on the power of the people found within Rousseau’s work. According to the first, often dominant interpretation of Rousseau’s S…
Reimagining Human Rights: The Concept of Droits des Gouvernés in Foucault's Political Philosophy
This study explores Michel Foucault's critique of human rights and his concept of droit des gouvernés, particularly with regard to refugees and migrants. It analyzes how Foucault's ideas can revitalize democratic elements within the context of neoliberal governance and reframe our understanding of human rights. His approach encourages rethinking the foundations of democracy and challenging the monopoly of political decision-making. Keywords: Mich…
Syriza’s stance vis-à-vis the European Union following the financial crisis: The persistence of left Europeanism and the role of the European Left party
The paper argues that Syriza has remained faithful to its distinct form of left Europeanism in the post-crisis era. It aims at testing the relative importance of four factors: the party’s Eurocommunist heritage, its ideological pillars, its internal balance and party factionalism, and its transnational affiliations. In order to assess their importance, the present paper draws from on-going research applying a theoretical framework that combines t…
