Question

Kornhauser and Sager’s paradox about a group of three of these people was generalized (10[1])into Philip Pettit’s “discursive dilemma” for belief aggregation. The thesis that these people deal with a defeasible “open texture” was debated by a philosopher who analogized these people to authors of “chain novels.” A slogan of the ALR school defines a related concept as what this sort of person “had for breakfast.” They’re not (10[1])filmmakers, (10[2])but contrasting descriptive and normative theories of how social and personal factors influence these people are called realism and formalism. Against the “no right answer” thesis, a thinker imagined an ideal one of these people (10[1])who would prefer (10[1])an “integrity”-based theory and named him “Hercules.” (10[4])For 10 points, a metaphorical “empire” (10[1]-5[1])titles a Ronald Dworkin book about what (-5[1])job held (10[1])by the scholar (10[1])Richard Posner?
