85Why Political Realists Should Not Be Afraid of Moral ValuesJournal of Philosophical Research 40 459-464. 2015.In a previous article, we unpacked the so-called “ethics first premise”—the idea that ethics is “prior” to politics when theorizing political legitimacy— that is denied by political realists. We defended a “justificatory” reading of this premise, according to which political justification is irreducibly moral in the sense that moral values are among the values that ground political legitimacy. We called this the “necessity thesis.” In this paper we respond to two challenges that Robert Jubb and …Read more

53What not to expect from the pragmatic turn in political theoryEuropean Journal of Political Theory (2): 1474885114537635. 2014.The central ideas coming out of the so-called pragmatic turn in philosophy have set in motion what may be described as a pragmatic turn in normative political theory.

Focusing on Wittgenstein's account, it is argued t…Read more

121Practices and Principles: On the Methodological Turn in Political TheoryPhilosophy Compass 10 (8): 533-546. 2015.The question of what role social and political practices should play in the justification of normative principles has received renewed attention in post-millennium political philosophy. Several current debates express dissatisfaction with the methodology adopted in mainstream political theory, taking the form of a criticism of so-called ‘ideal theory’ from ‘non-ideal’ theory, of ‘practice-independent’ theory from ‘practice-dependent’ theory, and of ‘political moralism’ from ‘political realism’. …Read more

4Freedom as Non-Domination or How to Throw the Agent Out of the Space of ReasonsJournal of Power 3 (1). 2011.This paper analyzes agency in Pettit’s republican conception of freedom. By understanding freedom intersubjectively in terms of agency, Pettit makes an important contribution to the contemporary debate on negative liberty. At the same time, some of the presumptions about agency are problematic. The paper defends the thesis that Pettit is not able to provide the sufficient conditions for freedom as non-domination that he sets out to do. In order to show why this is the case and how we can address…Read more
