Abstract

In this short paper, I argue with the help of Paul Ricœur's work that human freedom depends in part on the anonymity of political institutions. First, I explain why institutions are essential to the realization of freedom. Second, I show that institutions are anonymous in two distinct ways. While the first way expresses the corruption of certain institutions, the second pertains to the essence of all of them. I conclude by suggesting that all critiques of the anonymity of institutions should take this distinction into account.
