Abstract

I challenge the following positions in this article. First, I challenge what I take to be the standard philosophical view of revolution, which is (i) that revolution is justifiable only in obvious circumstances not worth theorizing about; and (ii) that a legal right to revolution is, in some sense, incoherent. Second, I challenge what I take to be the dominant philosophical understanding of sovereignty, which is (i) that there cannot be two sovereigns simultaneously governing a single territory; and (ii) that sovereignty is paradigmatically realized in centralized and hierarchical authority structures governing well-defined geographical territories.
