Philip Pettit on Individuals - Dictionary of Arguments
Brocker I 852 Individual/Pettit: for a representative of republicanism, as Pettit is to a decisive degree, it is surprising that the individual becomes the pivot of his model theory. >Republicanism, >Republicanism/Pettit. Petit thus actually follows a liberal logic: throughout his work, the defense and limitation of unjustified exertion of influence is in the foreground, and in this his declared "republican" concern meets precisely with the anti-etatistical reflex of a liberal political theory. >Liberalism. Republicanism: for him, traditionally the integration of the individual into the common coping with life and thus the confrontation with his/her roots in the political collective as a leading point of reference for the confrontation with the political is fixed.
