Authority is one of the key issues in political studies, for the
question of by what right one person or several persons govern
others is at the very root of political activity. In selecting key
readings for this volume Joseph Raz concerns himself primarily with
the moral aspect of political authority, choosing pieces that
examine its justification, determine who is subject to it and who
is entitled to hold it, and whether there are any general moral
limits to it.
The readings--by such modern political thinkeres as Robert Paul
Wolff, H. L. A. Hart, G. E. M. Anscombe, and Ronald
Dworkin--examine the basic moral issues and provide an essential
introduction to the debate about the nature of authority for all
students of political theory.
