Civil Disorder and the Separation of Powers



UNSW Philosophy seminar



Abstract: This paper charts the manner in which the theory of principles was applied to the problem of civil disorder in Montesquieu and the founding fathers of the American Constitution. It is well known that an effective solution to the problem of civil disorder, namely, the Separation of Powers, derives, in part, from Aristotle’s Politics. This paper takes the Aristotelian influence a step further by arguing that the early moderns framed the problem of civil disorder and the theory of the Separation of Powers in terms of the theory of knowledge acquisition that is set out in Aristotle’s Posterior Analytics. There is a very real sense then, in which The Constitution of the United States of America is an Aristotelian legacy.
