Authority and the Law: The Primacy of Justification over Legitimacy in Spinoza
In Dimitris Vardoulakis & Kiarina Kordela, Spinoza’s Authority Volume II: Resistance and Power in the Political Treatises. Bloomsbury. pp. 45-66 (2018)
Abstract
Vardoulakis argues that the notion of law as developed in chapter 4 of Spinoza's Theological Political Treatise does not rely on a notion of legitimacy but rather on how authority justifies itself. To demonstrate this point, Vardoulakis analyzes closely the example of Adam and the Fall used by Spinoza in that chapter of the Treatise.Author's Profile
