WiP Seminar
S2.77

The next postgraduate Work in Progress (WiP) seminar is taking place this Thursday 6 June from 5-6:15 PM in S2.77 and on Teams. Davide Versari will present 'Against Political Cognitivism as a Ground of Legitimacy'. Everyone welcome!

 

Abstract:

 

Political cognitivism is the commitment to the idea that there exists a standard of correctness for political decisions, and that such a standard can be reached. So-called belief-based approaches to political legitimacy take this to be the ground of legitimacy of a political decision or, more generally, of a political decision-making procedure. My aim is to counter this claim. To do that, I will argue that the epistemic circumstances of politics have some structural problems, linked to the concept of reasonable disagreement, such that the case in favour of cognitivism is not strong enough to justify its use as a ground of legitimacy.
