Political Obligations
George Klosko
Abstract
Provides a full defence of a theory of political obligation on the basis of the principle of fairness (or fair play). The book responds to the most important objections and extends a theory-based on fairness into a developed ‘multiple principle’ theory of obligation. The ‘self-image of the state’ in regard to political obligations is explored through examination of judicial decisions in three different democratic countries, while the book also breaks new ground by studying attitudes towards political obligations, through the use of small focus groups.
Keywords: anarchism, common good, consent, fair play, liberalism, libertarianism, natural duties, philosophical anarchism, political obligation, principle of fairness, Rawls, reformist consent
