Synopsis

In The Logic of Political Obligation, Thomas Hill Green asks how duty, authority, and the common good determine when we should obey or resist. He frames sovereignty, the general will, and the citizen’s role in shaping a just state.

This edition presents a clear, accessible framing of how political power is justified by the purpose it serves for all. It discusses when rulers have legitimate authority, what counts as the public good, and how individuals decide whether to align with or challenge those in power. The discussion moves from abstract principles to practical questions about resistance, legitimacy, and the duties of citizens in diverse political settings.

• Examine the links between obedience, authority, and the common good.
• Explore when resistance might be a duty rather than a crime against the state.
• Compare the roles of majority and minority in determining legitimate power.
• Consider how public opinion and practical realities influence political obligation.

Ideal for readers of political philosophy and the history of political thought, this work helps clarify what it means to participate responsibly in a just government.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
