Description

Outlining the major competing theories in the history of political and moral philosophy, this work by John Simmons examines the ancient problem of political obligation through the lens of thinkers from Locke and Hume through Hart, Rawls, and Nozick. Simmons explores the fundamental question at the heart of political theory: under what conditions and for what reasons are we morally bound to obey the law and support the political institutions of our countries? This Princeton University Press publication provides a rigorous analysis of competing philosophical frameworks and their implications for understanding our duties to the state, making it essential reading for students and scholars of political philosophy, moral theory, and political science.
