Talk:Authority

message: I clipped the following section out because it refers to the Abrahamic god (God) as the root of all authority.  I could be wrong, but I don't think so.

 (14) Weber, of course, misses the truth that thete is an absolute authority- the author of life-:God. His will, as expressed in the Bible, can be understood thru the direct commands and statements found in the New Tedtament, as well as the examples of his followers doing things that meet with His approval. Finally, thete is the expectation from God, as with all authority, that a certain amount of thought and sense be put into carrying out the will of the authority by inferting what is necesdary to work out the details of that which is authored as divine.

message: "Every religion around the world, whether it is Hinduism, Islam, Buddhism or Christianity has always considered God as the supreme authority." - Every? I very much doubt it. Buddhism? I'm not sure most of them even recognize 'god'... -MatthewKarlsen

replies: text: I wouldn't mind seeing a section discussing sources of authority in philosophy.  Such as: common consent to rule, divinity, power, etc.  I didn't add the section myself though, because it's a touchy subject and I didn't want that getting tangled up with my own edits.

thread_title: Religion and authority

message: What is the point of the Agamben quote on auctoritas and the relationship between Senator and magistrate?  It doesn't seem relevant and, to me, seems confusing and distracting?  I propose taking it out unless someone provides a rationale for it in that location.  Jjshapiro (talk) 21:41, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Interesting Work/Link 

message: Hello, I would like to create a new sub category in this topic. Authority seems to have many denotations and connotations, so I would like to post some of my research to offer users a more concise etymology of authority. I would also like to post a new subtopic as authority relates to education. I'm open to comments and suggestions. I look forward to your responses.--Jrw7235 (talk) 03:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

message: I was looking on the initial discussion posts bask when this article was created and found a request for inforamtion regarding the Milgram Experiment. I'm going to write up a synopsis to include current information regarding the discussion on the topic of authority according to Milgram reulsts as it pertains to the current generation. There is much debate as to how the results may differ intergenerationally--Jeff Walters  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.191.198.219 (talk) 03:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Major Revision 

message: The article was addressing "authority" as a term, instead of as a concept.  I tried to bring it more in line with other similar articles (philosophical concepts).  I tried to keep most of the old content (rewriting a couple paragraphs was unavoidable) though, so there are still some artifacts of the previous style.  I added a few references to some of the basic claims I made, but they're just references to web essays, nothing super strong.  This article could use a lot more detail and reference, but hopefully my edit is a step in the right direction.  DaWarMage (talk) 18:01, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I propose merging Authority (sociology) into Authority. I think the content in the former can easily be incorporated into the latter, and a merge would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in the latter. If there are differences between how authority is understood in the sociological sense and in other fields, then the article should flesh out those differences. Currently, this article seems to be oriented around the sociological understanding of the concept, which makes the existence of two separate articles even more puzzling.
