Christopher W. Morris on Consensus - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 204 Consensus/state/legitimacy/Morris: Consent is to be distinguished from consensus or general agreement. >Agreement/Habermas. Most forms of political organization depend to some degree on consensus or agreement. But the latter have to do largely with shared beliefs (or values). Sometimes terms like these are used to suggest more, but they essentially refer to agreement in belief or thought (or value).* Consent/Morris: Consent, by contrast, involves the engagement of the will or commitment. Something counts as consent only if it is a deliberate undertaking. Ideally, an act is one of consent if it is the deliberate and effective communication of an intention to bring about a change in one's normative situation (i.e. one's rights or obligations). >Consent/Morris. * Consent in this sense should also be distinguished from 'endorsement consent' in Hampton (1997(1): 94-7). 1.
