Is There a Duty to Obey the Law?
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 9780521537841
Publication Date: 08/01/2005
Edition Description: New Edition
The central question in political philosophy is whether political states have the right to coerce their constituents and whether citizens have a moral duty to obey the commands of their state. Christopher Heath Wellman and A. John Simmons defend opposing answers to this question. Wellman bases his argument on Samaritan obligations to perform easy rescues. Simmons counters that this, and all other attempts to explain our duty to obey the law, will fail.
