Notes

W. B. Gallie, ‘Essentially contested concepts’, Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, 56 (1955–6), pp. 167–98.

M. Freeden, Ideologies and Political Theory: A Conceptual Approach (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1996), chapter 2.

G. Newey, ‘Philosophy, politics and contestability’, Journal of Political Ideologies, 6 (2001), p. 249. Towards the end of his helpful argument Newey calls for ‘real-world’ explanations generated by central feature of the political. I attempt to adumbrate some approaches to that challenge here.

A view expressed by G. A. Cohen, to whom I am grateful for a very accurate and detailed exposition of the anti-EC position in a friendly exchange of views between us.

The latter view is expressed in A. Mason, Explaining Political Disagreement (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1993), p. 79.
