Summary: Central to modern social and political theory is the concept of legitimacy - the principle by which the State gains the right to exercise authority over its members. Since Rousseau's famous statement, 'Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains, political philosophers have sought to understand the process by which individual needs are subordinated to the 'general will. In this stimulating volume, William Connolly has brought together a dozen classic essays by major theorists, from Marx and Weber to Habermas, McCarthy and Foucault, to explore the meaning of legitimacy and assess its importance in modern democratic states
