First published in 1990. The individual's obligation to obey the
law, the state and the government is a fundamental part of
contemporary political theory. The contributors to this volume,
drawn from a variety of disciplines including philosophy, political
science and law, take a fresh look at the dilemmas of political
obligation. They discuss the extent to which we should allow the
need for conformity to override individual liberties, and ask
whether individualism is indeed feasible without a highly developed
sense of the 'public interest' or the 'common good'. The contrast
between individualism and communitarianism is examined throughout
the book. The contributors also look at the various means through
which the state can coerce or persuade the individual to be
obedient. The emphasis throughout this collection is on the
substantive problems themselves, rather than on the way these
issues have been addressed in the history of political thought. The
book offers a number of different perspectives on political
obligation, and will be valuable to students of moral, political,
social and legal philosophy.
