It neither treats exhaustively nor demolishes the legitimacy of the arguments or the underlying philosophy. Part I briefly summarizes the major arguments against progressivity. Part II examines the economic argument, its underlying assumptions, and its limitations. Part III examines the neoconservative philosophy which underlies the justification for a flat tax and contrasts it with an alternative feminist vision of people and society, which provides strong justification for progressive taxation.
Part IV concludes that there is a strong case for progressive taxation based not …
Problems In The Application Of Political Philosophy To Law, Christopher T. Wonnell
Problems In The Application Of Political Philosophy To Law, Christopher T. Wonnell
Michigan Law Review
There are at least four reasons why one might expect differences between the philosophies one would want to serve the pure normative philosophy function and the applied political philosophy function. The problems of rationalization and limited knowledge suggest that sincere commitment to and successful application of a philosophy cannot be equated; the problems of attraction of the insincere and the lack of institutional checks on the abuse of philosophical concepts suggest that even a sincere commitment may not remain stable.

The Rule Of Recognition And The Constitution, Kent Greenawalt
Michigan Law Review
This essay is about ultimate standards of law in the United States. Not surprisingly, our federal Constitution figures prominently in any account of our ultimate standards of law, and a discussion of its place is an apt jurisprudential endeavor for the bicentennial of the constitutional convention. Although in passing I offer some comments on constitutional principles, this essay is not about how the Constitution, or indeed other legal materials, should be understood and interpreted. Rather, it attempts to discern the jurisprudential implications of widespread practices involving the Constitution and other standards of law.
