Political obligation refers to the moral obligation of citizens to
obey the law of their state and to the existence, nature, and
justification of a special relationship between a government and
its constituents. This volume in the Contemporary Anarchist Studies
series challenges this relationship, seeking to define and defend
the position of critical philosophical anarchism against
alternative approaches to the issue of justification of political
institutions. The book sets out to demonstrate the value of taking
an anarchist approach to the problem of political authority,
looking at theories of natural duty, state justification, natural
duty of justice, fairness, political institutions, and more. It
argues that the anarchist perspective is in fact indispensable to
theorists of political obligation and can improve our views of
political authority and social relations. This accessible book
builds on the works of philosophical anarchists such as John
Simmons and Leslie Green, and discusses key theorists, including
Rousseau, Rawls, and Horton. This key resource will make an
important contribution to anarchist political theory and to
anarchist studies more generally.
