Pluralism proceeds from the observation that many associations in
liberal democracies claim to possess, and attempt to exercise, a
measure of legitimate authority over their members. They assert
that this authority does not derive from the magnanimity of a
liberal and tolerant state but is grounded, rather, on the common
practices and aspirations of those individuals who choose to take
part in a common endeavor. As an account of the authority of
associations, pluralism is distinct from other attempts to
accommodate groups like multiculturalism, subsidiarity,
corporatism, and associational democracy. It is consistent with the
explanation of legal authority proposed by contemporary legal
positivists, and recommends that the formal normative systems of
highly organized groups be accorded the status of fully legal norms
when they encounter the laws of the state. In this book,
Muniz-Fraticelli argues that political pluralism is a convincing
political tradition that makes distinctive and radical claims
regarding the sources of political authority and the relationship
between associations and the state. Drawing on the intellectual
tradition of the British political pluralists, as well as recent
developments in legal philosophy and social ontology, the book
argues that political pluralism makes distinctive and radical
claims regarding the sources of political authority and the
relationship between associations and the state.
