Hypothetical Consent and Political Legitimacy
abstract |
view |
rights & permissions
A commonly accepted criticism of the social contract approach to justifying political authority targets the notion of hypothetical consent. Hypothetical contracts, it is argued, are not binding; therefore hypothetical consent cannot justify political authority. I argue that although hypothetical consent may not be capable of creating political obligation, it has the power to legitimate political arrangements.

Taking Social Contracts Seriously
abstract |
view |
rights & permissions
One of the more recent trends in business ethics theory is to argue for norms for corporations on the basis of a social contract model. So far, however, the application of this method of argument has been without sufficient attention for the defining features characterizing the domain of business ethics and the specific assumptions of the social contract argument. In this paper, I situate the new trend of arguing for norms of corporate morality on the basis of a social contract against the background of two earlier traditions of social contract argumentation, i.e. contract theories of politics and of social justice. A comparative analysis of these earlier families of contract theory provides an indication as to how a well-formed contract theory for business ethics should be set up.

Original Sin in the Original Position:
A Kierkegaardian Reading of John Rawls's Writings on Justice
abstract |
view |
rights & permissions
AMONG THEOLOGICAL WRITERS, MANY HAVE SUSPECTED THAT JOHN Rawls's writings on justice add up to a de facto manifesto of secularism. His writings especially provoke anxiety about the potential exclusion of theological affirmations from public political discourse. Much of this anxiety focuses on his concept of the "original position" from which principles of justice are negotiated. Consideration of the anxiety provoked by this concept, however, suggests that it is theologically richer than Rawls's critics allow. A turn to Søren Kierkegaard's The Concept of Anxiety enables interpretation of the original position as a device of representation that identifies every individual with the fact of original sin. Crucial to this interpretation is Kierkegaard's description of original sin in terms of anxiety that arises from the innocence that is ignorance in the comparable original position of Adam. Where anxiety arises, sin follows. Where sin arises, the need for justice follows. Reading Rawls and Kierkegaard together consequently offers insight into the relevance of the history of the doctrine of original sin to contemporary theorization of justice.

Are We Bound to Uphold Rawlsian Justice?
abstract |
view |
rights & permissions
A Theory of Justice maintains that we are morally bound to further those institutional arrangements that support those principles that would have been agreed to by contracting parties in the original position. However, some critics have rejected the implicit premise that hypothetical contracts yield contractual obligations. But this critique is misplaced according to a different interpretation of the contract’s role. Rawls arguably claims that justice is binding and that in virtue of specifying the content of justice the hypothetical contract is likewise binding. To determine whether we are bound to uphold Rawlsian justice, I shall discuss both approaches and then further analyse charges of triviality, circularity, an alleged similarity to intuitionism and the contractarian rebuttal of utilitarianism.

Animals and the Social Contract:
A Reply to Nussbaum
abstract |
view |
rights & permissions
In The Frontiers of Justice, Martha Nussbaum argues that social contract theory cannot accommodate political duties to animals because it requires the parties to the contract to enjoy rough physical and mental equality. Her interpretation of the social contract tradition is unpersuasive; social contract theory requires only that the parties be equally free and deserving of moral consideration. Moreover, social contract theory is superior to her capabilities approach in that it allows us to limit the scope of the community of justice to animals we are capable of recognizing as subjects of justice and with whom we have a political relationship.

Principles and Judgments in Rawls’s Theory of Justice
abstract |
view |
rights & permissions
In this paper I argue that the right to equal respect and consideration that Rawls incorporates into the original position by means of the veil of ignorance cannot provide support for his two principles of justice independently of an appeal to considered judgments. The trouble is that this right is intolerably vague. The crucial terms are neither transparent in meaning nor clearly definable, and so they can only be understood against a background of considered judgments. To the extent that the principle is kept vague, it places no constraints on the conditions of the original position. To the extent that its meaning is specified, its interpretation presupposes the very principles and considered judgments that are supposed to be independently justified by the device of the original position. Finally, I respond to Norm Daniels’s claim that “wide reflective equilibrium” provides a way to test moral principles independently of their respective considered judgments.
