Description

Explore the fundamental questions of political and moral philosophy with this essential text from Princeton University Press. In Moral Principles and Political Obligations, John Simmons examines the long-standing debate regarding why individuals are morally required to follow the law and support their nation's political institutions. This book provides a detailed look at the major competing theories that have shaped history. By tracing the evolution of thought from thinkers like Locke and Hume through to modern philosophers such as Hart, Rawls, and Nozick, Simmons seeks to find solutions to the ancient problem of political obligation. Whether you are a student of political science or a reader interested in the history of social science and ideology, this work offers a clear examination of the conditions under which we owe obedience to the state. It is a significant addition to any collection focused on government, politics, and the moral foundations of society.
