    Justice and ideas in Plato’s Republic
    (De Gruyter, 2019) Partenie, Cătălin
    Plato argues in the Republic that in both the city and the soul, justice is the well- functioning of their parts. There are now plenty of books about the well- functioning of organizations, cities, and one’s psyche, but their authors do not call it “justice”. One such book, published in French in 2017 (under the title Foutez-vous la paix!, by Fabrice Midal), goes even further and claims that to reach inner peace and psychic well-functioning we have to stop reasoning completely. Anyway, why does Plato insist that justice is, in both city and soul, the well-functioning of their parts? This is the main question I shall address in my essay.

    Legitimitatea dizidentei : nesupunerea civica si ratiunea publica rawlsiana
    (SNSPA, 2009) Dobrei, Nicolae
    The tension between fundamental human rights and democratic (majoritarian) legitimacy is both critical and analytically rich for contemporary normative theories of democracy – and for the issue of morally acceptable civil disobedience as well. I briefly discuss the challenge this tension raises for three of the mainstream approaches to this issue, namely republicanism, liberalism and deliberative democracy. I move then to a detailed account of the early Rawlsian justification of civil disobedience, and in the third step of my argument I advance the idea that Rawls’ theory of public reason offers a particularly strong framework for understanding disobedience as an effective means for promoting justice and legitimacy in contemporary democracies.
