«Democratic Authority: A Philosophical Framework» is the political philosophy essay by David Estlund (Princeton University Press, hardcover, 309 pages).
The work argues that democratic authority also depends on its capacity to make good decisions. Estlund proposes an "epistemic proceduralism" that avoids the rule of experts: the knowledge of a few is only valid if it is acceptable to all reasonable points of view, and laws must be authorized by those to whom they apply.
Originally published in November 2007. First edition. In English. Dewey classification: 321.8.
Aimed at readers interested in political philosophy, democratic theory, and debates on legitimacy and authority.
