Resemblances of identity: Ludwig Wittgenstein and contemporary feminist legal theory
Res Publica - Tập 12 - Trang 137-162 - 2006
In a context in which there is manifest multiplicity in women’s daily lives, feminists have struggled to identify what it uniquely means to be a woman, without falling prey to charges of essentialism. Conscious, however, of the role which collective gender identity plays in providing coherence and motivation to feminist activity, a number of theorists have sought to find a way to retain group cohe......
Raising Revenue for Persons with Disabilities
Res Publica - Tập 15 - Trang 33-51 - 2008
Whereas right-libertarians do not think that it is a requirement of justice that we raise revenues for persons with disabilities, both left-libertarians and liberal egalitarians think that there is such a requirement. An issue remains for the latter two theorists—how ought we to raise this revenue? Liberal egalitarians typically endorse either universal taxation or taxation of the wealthy. Left-li......
On the Permissibility of Free-Riding on the Global Lingua FrancaAbstract English today seems to be emerging as a global lingua franca. And a global lingua franca would be a global public good. Characteristically, being non-excludable, public goods are susceptible to free-riding: absent targeted distributive policies, some individuals can accrue a good’s benefits without having contributed to the costs of its production. In this ... ...

Compensation and Overcoming of Historical Injustice

Betting Against Hard Determinism
Res Publica - Tập 14 - Trang 219-235 - 2008
The perennial fear associated with the free will problem is the prospect of hard determinism being true. Unlike prevalent attempts to reject hard determinism by defending compatibilist analyses of freedom and responsibility, this article outlines a pragmatic argument to the effect that we are justified in betting that determinism is false even though we may retain the idea that free will and deter......
Civic and Cosmopolitan Friendship
Res Publica - Tập 19 - Trang 81-94 - 2012
This article draws out two implications for cosmopolitan or global friendship from an examination of a recent work on civic friendship in the domestic sphere: (1) Insofar as it is the case that civic friendship, as defined by Schwarzenbach (On civic friendship: Including women in the state. Columbia University Press, New York, 2009) is necessary for justice in the state, it is also the case that t......
Comment: Reciprocity and the Rise of Populism
Res Publica - Tập 26 - Trang 423-431 - 2019
It has recently been contended that the rise of populism in the US, culminating in the election of Donald Trump, vindicates liberal political theory, and the liberal political theory of John Rawls in particular. For the election of someone like Trump is just what Rawls’s theory would lead us to expect. Rawls’s theory would lead us to expect it because Rawls thought that if a liberal democracy is t......
Egalitarianism and the Great Recession: A Tale of Missed Connections?
Res Publica - Tập 24 - Trang 237-256 - 2017
The main aim of this paper is to act as a corrective to the comparatively deafening silence of egalitarian political philosophy’s response to the Great Recession. The paper thus provides an accessible analysis of a new strand of empirical research into the causes of the crisis. This new literature, which has largely gone unnoticed by the broader philosophical community, maintains that the main dri......
