Reihe: Social and Political Power

When and for what reasons does parents’ power have legitimacy? How do we rationally justify such normative evaluations? A number of specific case studies are examined in detail and an argument is made for a pluralist approach both to the conceptualisation of power and to its normative evaluation.
