Abstract

Abstract The idea that legal systems conditionally threaten citizens is taken by most legal and political philosophers as ‘reasonably uncontroversial,’ ‘obvious,’ or as portraying ‘a large part of how law operates.’ This paper clarifies and ultimately rejects this idea: our legal systems, it is argued, rarely address citizens via conditional threats. If correct, the conclusion defended in this paper might force us to re-examine core debates in legal and political philosophy that rely on the assumption that legal systems often threaten citizens: debates about the justification of the state, global justice, and the coerciveness of law.

不要被法律威胁

大多数法律和政治哲学家认为，法律制度有条件地威胁公民，这一观点“合理地没有争议”，“显而易见”，或者描述了“法律运作的很大一部分”。这篇论文澄清并最终否定了这个观点:我们的法律体系，有人认为，很少通过有条件的威胁来对付公民。如果正确的话，本文所捍卫的结论可能会迫使我们重新审视法律和政治哲学中的核心辩论，这些辩论依赖于法律体系经常威胁公民的假设:关于国家正当性、全球正义和法律强制性的辩论。

期刊介绍： The Canadian Journal of Law & Jurisprudence serves as a forum for special and general jurisprudence and legal philosophy. It publishes articles that address the nature of law, that engage in philosophical analysis or criticism of legal doctrine, that examine the form and nature of legal or judicial reasoning, that investigate issues concerning the ethical aspects of legal practice, and that study (from a philosophical perspective) concrete legal issues facing contemporary society. The journal does not use case notes, nor does it publish articles focussing on issues particular to the laws of a single nation. The Canadian Journal of Law & Jurisprudence is published on behalf of the Faculty of Law, Western University.
