N2 - Inspired by Professor Bodansky’s powerful analysis of legitimacy and its discussion at this conference and reciprocating his compliment, I should like to address his brilliant ad hoc contribution to the conference. The starting point of the following brief remarks will be Professor Bodansky’s intriguing insight that the heart of the matter of legitimacy and our worrying about it is the question why should I obey (public) power? This very question points to the paradox of making collectively binding decisions of the political or the legal variety, in the words of the late Niklas Luhmann. My remarks are thus concerned with the positive theory of legitimacy.
