摘要
On Christopher H. Wellman's Samaritan account of political legitimacy, the state is justified in coercing its subjects because doing so is necessary to rescue them from the perils of the state of nature. Samaritanism-the principle that we are morally permitted to do what is necessary to rescue someone from serious peril if in doing so we do not impose unreasonable costs on others-only justifies a minimal state, in Wellman's view. I argue contra Wellman that Samaritanism justifies an extensive, liberal-egalitarian state. © 2014 The Author.
