Compare And Contrast Enoch's View Of Authority Over Their Parents

Have you ever felt you have ruled over a person or several individuals? You may have experienced this feeling if you are a coach, teacher, boss, or even a team leader in something. Could you imagine if all kids had authority over both of their parents, and how much different our world would be? There are many views on authority, just like anything else. Some people agree with others, while they also disagree. I will talk about four of these figures that focus on authority, and they are Enoch, Raz, Darwall, and Wolff. I will also explain how their authority view would look at children being able to have authority over their parents.

Enoch has a view on authority that agrees and sides with an objectivist account of reasons. Enoch, calls his

He views authority as more of an issue as a general phenomenon. Enoch calls this 'robust reason giving', which means somebody creates a reason for something by intending to do it. But, Enoch believes that the person did not create the reason, he states that it's the instance of a phenomenon that he calls a "triggering reason", and he also states that "the circumstances of a situation are changed in such a way that an inactive reason that existed all along is activated" (PowerPoint 44). The PowerPoint slides explain his example of raising the price of milk as a grocer. When the grocer increases the price of milk, he introduces a reason for people to reduce their milk consumption, but he states that the grocer did create the reason because shoppers already had reasons that needed to save money. Similar to how the grocer has reasons to increase prices to

What happens is that inactive reasons that already exist are triggered." (PowerPoint 46). I think that this statement is powerful since it agrees with a view and can help deeply explain it as well. He has several quotes that do such but that one is the strongest of them. He implies giving orders and making requests may be similar, but they are not the same thing. Enoch's view on Authority is that when someone is giving orders, they have authority over that person at the exact moment. Giving an order is when a police officer asks a suspect to put their hands where they can see them. Making a request is like asking someone if they can or cannot do something for them. For example, an athlete suggests to a coach about changing a part of a play. The coach is the authoritative figure currently, but the athlete is requesting a change in a play. So in that case, he believes that there is little way that children can have authority over their parents. The way that he states is that a child may be able to order their orange to provide the
