波士顿大学法律事件认为民主失败

The school welcomed interdisciplinary scholars from the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy to examine the discourse of democracy in the US.

一段时间以来，美国和世界各地澳门威尼斯人注册民主的讨论一直以对功能失调、极端党派偏见和僵局的担忧为特征。 最近，这种论述变得更加黑暗，甚至是启示录式的转向，开始谈论危机、失败或死亡。 是什么 民主的失败？ 它是否预设了民主成功的概念以及成功的先决条件？ 民主失败与其他政治或宪法疾病（如功能失调、危机或腐败）有何不同或相关？ 民主怎么会失败呢？ 如何拯救它？ The Annual Conference of the American Society for Political and Legal Philosophy attempted to answer these questions at the 2018 conference, organized by the Hon. Paul J. Liacos Professor of Law 詹姆斯·弗莱明. 

Three principal papers were presented: “Representation Failure” by political scientist Jane Mansbridge of Harvard University, “Du Bois’s Defense of Democracy” by philosopher Derrick Darby of University of Michigan, and “Democracy as Failure,” by law professor Aziz Z. Huq of University of Chicago. 每篇论文都由其他两个学科的学者进行评论。 The ASPLP will publish the principal papers and commentaries in 处, its annual book put out by New York University Press (to be edited by Melissa Schwartzberg and Daniel Viehoff).

Anyone interested in political and legal philosophy who wishes to join the ASPLP should contact James E. Fleming, President of the ASPLP (jfleming@bu.edu), or Andrew Valls, Secretary-Treasurer of the ASPLP (theasplp@gmail.com).
