CONSENTING ADULTS 〜社会の一員としての同意〜 what is the work of consent? people here have been invoking the idea of consent since we began since the first week you remember when we were talking about pushing the fat man off the bridge someone said but he didn’t agree to sacrifice himself it would be different if he consented or when we were talking about the cabin boy killing and eating the cabin boy some people said well if they had consented to a lottery it would be different then it would be alright so consent has come up a lot and here in john locke we have one of the great philosophers of consent consent is an obvious, familiar idea in moral and political philosophy locke says that legitimate government is government founded on consent and who nowadays would disagree with him?
