Rights, Obligations, and Authority
Sun, September 8, 10:00 to 11:30am, Loews Philadelphia Hotel, Commonwealth BSession Submission Type: Created Panel
Session Description
What obligations do agents of the state have towards us and how can we respond when they fail to deliver? How do traditional accounts of authority change once we focus on those who do more than they are obliged to do? How should we conceptualize our core democratic rights? The political philosophers on this panel address these and other questions vital to liberal democratic theory.
