Description
Political Obligations provides a full defense of a theory of political obligation based on the principle of fairness (or fair play), which is widely viewed as the strongest theory of obligation currently available. The work responds to the most important objections to the principle of fairness, and extends a theory based on fairness into a developed ‘multiple principle’ theory of obligation. In order to establish the need for such a theory, Political Obligations criticizes alternative theories of obligation based on a natural duty of justice and ‘reformist’ consent, and critically examines the non-state theories of libertarian and philosophical anarchists. The work breaks new ground by providing the first in-depth study of popular attitudes towards political obligations and how the state itself views them. The attitudes of ordinary citizens are explored through small focus groups, while the ‘self image of the state’ in regard to the obligations of its citizens is studied through examination of judicial decisions in three different democratic countries.
User’s Reviews
Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐I do not believe the state is legitimate, and this book has not changed my mind. Nonetheless, I have found it to be the most convincing defence of political obligation I have seen (and I have been doing political theory for four years now). If you are an anarcho-capitalist this definitely address many of your arguments against the state. Best read with Dan McDermott’s paper of the principle of fair play for critique. Found it very helpful for writing an essay on the topic.
