YouTube video by Radboud Reflects Soevereinen: schijt aan de overheid | jurist Luuk de Boer en rechtsfilosoof Maxim van Asseldonk

Vorige week sprak ik samen met Luuk de Boer bij Radboud Reflects over soevereinen: wie zijn ze, wat motiveert ze, en wat zegt het over een democratische rechtsstaat en de legitimiteit van macht dat de populariteit van dit gedachtegoed toeneemt?

Claude Lefort in the age of the total constitution | Global Constitutionalism | Cambridge Core Claude Lefort in the age of the total constitution

What happens if constitutions, as indispensable protections of democracy, themselves threaten to stifle democracy? In this new paper in @globcon.bsky.social I draw primarily on the work of Claude Lefort and Martin Loughlin to address that question.

More publication news!

In this paper, @henkvanhoutum.bsky.social and me cross borders between geography and philosophy. We draw on Nancy and Esposito to give broader philosophical grounding to geographical concepts such as 'borderscapes'.

Democracy without Demos: A Prefigurative Approach to Democratic Peoplehood | Krisis | Journal for Contemporary Philosophy

New publication!

In this article, new in @krisisjournal.bsky.social I address the idea that 'the demos' does not exist as a distinct entity. To sustain its legitimising role in democratic theory, I propose viewing the demos as a prefigurative concept.

STATEMENT WOinACTIE

De deal die CDA, CU, JA21 en SGP met Geert Wilders sluiten, is volstrekt onacceptabel en verwerpelijk. De onderwijsbezuinigingen zijn funest voor universiteiten, steden, regio’s en uiteindelijk voor heel Nederland. Dat zeggen tal van maatschappelijke partners met ons. 1/
