Abstract:
The central claim of this work is straightforward: if one endorses a nonexclusionary
standpoint, then one ought also to avoid excluding people from
disagreements. This is valid even if these people hold particularly deplorable
worldviews. In political theory, this is not the generally held view. Political
liberalism has endorsed the exclusion of unreasonable people. More or less
explicitly, modus vivendi theory also limits access to the relevant constituency for
those people who do not share the higher good of peace, or who are unable to meet
other requirements. In this work, I aim to demonstrate that exclusion is bad.
Therefore, the point of this project is to begin with the debate on pluralism and
disagreement in order to affirm a novel normative standpoint – a non-exclusionary
political theory. This theory defends a general right to have a say. To do so, I divide
the argument into three parts. First, I define the non-exclusionary desideratum. I
also pay attention to conceptual difficulties in existing responses to pluralism in
political theory. Then, to answer the need to construct a normative standpoint that
people with different worldviews can affirm, I develop a perspectivist political
theory. In the second part of this work, I recognize two orders of normativity, and I
idealize an ideal position of disagreement – the many-to-one relationship. At the
heart of this normative proposal, there is a general standpoint of justice (the right to
have a say), and a conception of legitimacy for societies where all members have a
right to have a say. For me, a decision is legitimate when all members can recognize
their individual subject-object relations in the outcome. Finally, in the third part of
the dissertation, I consider the pluralistic society – an ideal society where all
members have a right to have a say.
