Jason F. Brennan (nascido em 1979) é um filósofo libertário e cientista político. Atualmente é professor de Estratégia, Economia, Ética e Políticas Públicas da McDonough School of Business e professor de Filosofia da Universidade de Georgetown.[1]

Doutorou-se na Universidade do Arizona em Filosofia, sendo que, dedica as suas investigações, mormente, à filosofia política e à ética aplicada[2].

Ele aborda os defeitos da Democracia em sua última obra: "Against Democracy", sugerindo uma Epistocracia.

Pensamento

Brennan escreve sobre a teoria democrática, ética do voto, competência e poder, liberdade e fundamentos morais da sociedade do comércio. Ele foi chamado de "um dos maiores especialistas acadêmicos do mundo em votação e conhecimento político".[3]

Seu trabalho centra-se na intersecção entre a filosofia política normativa e as ciências sociais empíricas, especialmente em questões sobre o comportamento dos eleitores, patologias da democracia e as consequências da liberdade. Ele argumenta que a maioria dos cidadãos tem a obrigação moral de não votar.
