Political obligation is concerned with the clash between the individual’s claim to self-governance and the right of the state to claim their obedience. It is a central problem in political philosophy and political theory and its origins can be traced back to Ancient Greece. In this authoritative introduction to the topic, Dudley Knowles frames the question of political obligation in terms of the duties citizens have to the state and each other.
He introduces and examines the topic of obligation-- who is obliged, what reasons are put forward to justify obligation, obligation and justice, and disobedience—before assessing arguments that have so far been used to ground obligation: utilitarianism, contract and consent and gratitude. Knowles defends anarchist, conservative and communitarian arguments against liberal ideas of citizens’ duties before concluding that there can be no general political obligation.
