A mini workshop with Julian Bacharach (Humboldt, Berlin) and Christoph Hoerl (Warwick). (online)

On 3-4 June 2021, Daniele Lorenzini is organising a workshop on genealogy in the analytic and continental traditions, with papers by Amy Allen (Penn State), Sacha Golob (KCL), Guy Longworth (Warwick), Matthieu Queloz (Oxford), Daniel Rodriguez-Navas (New School), Sabina Vaccarino Bremner (Groningen), Lee Wilson (Edinburgh) and himself. The workshop will take place in the afternoon of those two days, to allow the speakers who are based in the US to participate. Q&A and general discussion will constitute the most important part of the workshop.

The aim of the workshop is to explore the role of reasons in democratic legitimacy, focusing in particular on the question of how democratic legitimacy is possible if democratic processes are based on subjective reasons.
