Pettit on Consequentialism and Universalizability
Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics, 2005Philip Pettit has argued that universalizability entails consequentialism. I criticise the argument for relying on a question-begging reading of the impartiality of universalization. A revised form of the argument can be constructed by relying on preference-satisfaction rationality, rather than on impartiality.

Analysis, 1993
Philip Pettit [4] accepts this challenge, and responds with a definition of physicalism which he thinks avoids the dilemma. Pettit's definition of physicalism involves four claims, two about entities, two about laws. Claims 1 and 3, concerning the existence of microphysical entities and microphysical laws, should not be questioned.

Abstract The most striking thing in Philip Pettit ‘s political philosophy is his attempt to replace the standard liberal conception of negative freedom with a conception of freedom as non-domination, which he associates with the republican rather than the liberal tradition of political thought.

Why the state? Prominent answers to this question in Anglophone contractarian political theory tend to rely on prudential considerations. For Hobbes, for example, the state is necessary because subjects living in a condition of natural liberty face constant fear of death and find it impossible to lead predictable lives.

Are rights less important for republicans than for liberals? Pettit versus Pettit
Contemporary Political Theory, 2016It has become a commonplace in neo-republican thinking to claim that if the notion of rights can be allowed a place in republican political theory, it can never achieve the prominence that liberalism allegedly grants it. Philip Pettit’s book, Republicanism, provides several arguments to buttress this thesis.
