Civil disobedience is a form of protest with a special standing
with regards to the law that sets it apart from political violence.
Such principled law-breaking has been witnessed in recent years
over climate change, economic strife, and the treatment of animals.
Civil disobedience is examined here in the context of contemporary
political activism, in the light of classic accounts by Thoreau,
Tolstoy, and Gandhi to call for a broader attitude towards what
civil disobedience involves. The question of violence is discussed,
arguing that civil disobedience need only be aspirationally
non-violent and that although some protests do not clearly
constitute law-breaking they may render people liable to arrest.
For example, while there may not be violence against persons, there
may be property damage, as seen in raids upon animal laboratories.
Such forms of militancy raise ethical and legal questions. Arguing
for a less restrictive theory of civil disobedience, Civil
Disobedience will be a valuable resource for anyone studying social
movements and issues of political philosophy, social justice, and
global ethics.
