This book examines the central questions concerning the duty to
obey the law: the meaning of this duty; whether and where it should
be acknowledged; and whether and when it should be disregarded.
Many contemporary philosophers deny the very existence of this
duty, but take a cautious stance towards political disobedience.
This 'toothless anarchism', Professor Gans argues, should be
discarded in favour of a converse position confirming the existence
of a duty to obey the law which can be outweighed by values and
principles of political morality. Informed by the Israeli
experience of political disobedience motivated by radically
differing moral outlooks, the author sets out the principles which
should guide our attitude to law and political authority even
amidst clashing ideologies and irreconcilable moralities. This book
will be of interest to students and scholars of law, philosophy and
politics, and anyone concerned with the individual's
responsibilities toward his or her political community.
