Introduction: Examining the republican dilemma

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Lars Moen, in The Republican Dilemma , argues that freedom as non-domination is either 1) undistinctive , involving the same directives for promoting freedom as the supposedly rival pure negative conception of freedom; or it is 2) unsuitable for modern society, being at odds with contemporary conditions of pluralism. Here I give a short precis of the book along with brief summaries of the other discussions in this symposium. Finally, I suggest a way in which I think the first horn of the dilemma can be resisted.
