Abstract
Political philosophy is construed as having a relevance problem to a world where power has become pluralized, governance networked. We cannot assume that the Westphalian project of progressively centralizing power in the hands of the state at the expense of other centres of power such as the church, granting the state a monopoly over the use of armed force, continues to be a project with explanatory force. Philip Pettit s political philosophy of republican dispersal of power and contestatory democracy to secure freedom as non-domination is a serviceable framework for coming to grips with pluralized governance through networks.
