Against an ever-expanding and diversifying 'rights talk', this book
re-opens the question of obligation from not only legal but also
ethical, sociological and political perspectives. Its premise is
that obligation has a primacy ahead of rights, because rights
attach to practices and modes of being that are already saturated
with obligations. Obligations thus lie at the core not just of law
but of community. Yet the distinctive meanings, range and
situations of obligation have tended to remain under-theorised in
legal scholarship. In response, this book examines the sense in
which we are multiply 'bound beings', to law and legal
institutions, as much as we are to place, community, memory and the
various social institutions that give shape to collective life.
Sharing this set of concerns, each of the international group of
scholars contributing to this volume traces the specificity of the
binding force of obligations, their techniques and modes of
expression, as well as their centrally important role in giving
form to lawful relations. Together they provide an innovative and
challenging contribution to legal scholarship: one that will also
be of relevance to those working in politics, philosophy and social
theory.
