Michael Huemer

American philosopher at University of Colorado Boulder — author of The Problem of Political Authority, Skepticism and the Veil of Perception, and Ethical Intuitionism — the most rigorous philosophical anarchist in contemporary Anglo-American philosophy.

Creates the philosophical anarchist argument against political authority — The Problem of Political Authority argues (from widely shared moral intuitions) that the state has no special moral authority that justifies its coercive activities; the book is the most rigorously argued philosophical case for anarchism in contemporary academic philosophy.
