Mon Sep 14 07:32:00 CEST 2026

Kedves Kollégák!

Emlékeztetőképp: Matej Cíbik (Central European University & University of Pardubice) 2026. szeptember 16-án, e hét szerdán 18.00 órától tart előadást "Consequences of delegitimation" címmel az ELTE BTK Filozófia Intézet Colloquium Philosophicum előadás-sorozata keretében.

Helyszín: ELTE BTK (Múzeum krt. 4.) "i" épület, 113-as terem.

Az előadásra és az azt követő diskusszióra angol nyelven kerül sor.

Consequences of delegitimation
What happens when a legitimate democracy turns into an illegitimate autocracy? This paper challenges the dominant view that political legitimacy matters mainly because it creates a duty to obey the law or gives governments the power to change citizens’ legal and moral standing. Instead, it argues that legitimacy directly shapes the relationship between governments and citizens, especially when citizens consider actions that challenge or undermine the regime. Legitimacy places constraints on what citizens may permissibly do politically, even when those actions are legal. As a government becomes increasingly illegitimate, these constraints gradually weaken and eventually disappear.

Örömmel várunk mindenkit!

Üdvözlettel,
Mráz Attila
