Legitimate Authority

This is the ninth in our on-going series of philosophical podcasts. The topic is legitimate authority. What is authority? Is there such a thing as legitimate authority? Where does authority come from? How is it empowered? Does legitimate authority require consent? What constitutes abuse of authority?



Participants: Carole Abel, David Rood, John Tytus, Scott Van Bergen
