摘要

专断权力通常被理解为与暴政有某种关系,这种关系被认为可以解释专断权力为何令人反感。但什么是暴政?专断权力与暴政之间的关系究竟是什么?为什么(如果有的话)专断权力令人反感?本文认为,最好通过暴君的形象来理解专断权力。暴君的形象是一个具有典型性格特征的漫画,通常是一个不受欢迎的人,他拥有或被认为拥有权力。本文认为,专断的权力是为表达或促成表达漫画中的暴君特征而构成的权力。出于模仿的原因,专断权力是不好的或令人反感的(如果它是专断权力的话)。通过这种方式来理解专断权力,我们可以看到权力在部署、理解和传播方式上存在的问题,这比标准的说法更有优势。

Arbitrary Power: Caricature and Concept

Arbitrary power is often understood as bearing some kind of relation to tyrannical rule, a relation that is thought to explain why arbitrary power is objectionable. But what is tyrannical rule? What precisely is the relationship between arbitrary power and tyranny? Why (if at all) is arbitrary power objectionable? Arbitrary power, this paper argues, is best understood through the figure of the tyrant. The figure of the tyrant is a caricature with stock character traits, usually of a disliked other, who is, or is thought to be, powerful. Arbitrary power, the paper argues, is power that is constituted to express, or enable the expression of, caricatured tyrannical traits. Arbitrary power is bad or objectionable (if and when it is) for mimetic reasons. Understanding arbitrary power in this way allows us to see problems with how it is deployed, understood and communicated and has advantages over standard accounts.

期刊介绍: Law and Philosophy is a forum for the publication of work in law and philosophy which is of common interest to members of the two disciplines of jurisprudence and legal philosophy. It is open to all approaches in both fields and to work in any of the major legal traditions - common law, civil law, or the socialist tradition. The editors of Law and Philosophy encourage papers which exhibit philosophical reflection on the law informed by a knowledge of the law, and legal analysis informed by philosophical methods and principles.
