O zastrzeżeniach wobec pluralistycznego ujęcia władzy
On Objections towards a Pluralist Account of Authority

Summary/Abstract: Over the past several years, theorists concerned with liberal democracy and republican freedom have raised various objections to accounts of political and legal pluralism similar to the one the author presented in his monograph The Structure of Pluralism and later developed in several essays on pluralism and justice and on relations between church and state. Indeed, the so-called jurisdictional pluralism may stand in greater tension with democratic (or republican) authority than some of its proponents acknowledge. It is useful, then, to identify some unstated presuppositions in the account of jurisdictional pluralism (or at least in the author’s version of it) which might be the source of this tension. The article is a tentative effort to reformulate pluralism in a way that makes those tensions clear. As all first attempts, it will surely be unsat- isfactory and incomplete, but at least it should serve to clarify some differences in fundamental assumptions.
