Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theories of the Obligation of Citizen to State In the beginning of the book, Royce calls attention to the great perplexity of the present age in regard to its moral ideals and its standards of duty. Morality can not be a mere external restraint upon the individual. True morality is identical with the individual's own inmost desire, the real purpose of his life, as Opposed to what merely seems to him at some particular moment to be his purpose. But I can never hnd out what my own will is by merely brooding over my natural desires, or by follow ing my momentary caprices. From moment to mo ment, if you consider me apart from my training, I am a col lection of impulses. There is no one desire that is always present to me. (p. 27) Without such a unifying purpose one may exist as a psychological specimen, but not as a true per sonality. This personal problem of unifying life and giving it significance, of answering the question: For what do I live? Can be solved only by the establishment of loyalty to some cause. The man who is heartily loyal to a great cause has found the purpose of his life his deep and abiding will, in the desire to further this cause. Loyalty 1 tends to unify life, to give it centre, fixity, stability. (p. 22) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Traditional discussions on political obligations revolve around the moral obligation to obey the law. Given this focus, these discussions pay more attention to democratic states, for it is commonly assumed that democracy is a necessary condition for a legitimate authority that has the right to citizens' obedience. These discussions thus neglect the situation in non-democratic states. My project aims to begin to fill in this lacuna. Drawing on Anna Stilz's natural duty theory of political obligations in democratic states, I argue that the natural duty of justice can also ground non-democratic citizens' political obligations, especially the obligation to resist injustice. Natural duty theories face the notorious 'particularity problem', according to which general natural duties alone cannot generate the special obligations owed to one's fellow citizens. Stilz responds to this challenge by appealing to the idea of collective action: democratic citizens are acting together in their own state and their obedience regularly affects the rights of their fellow citizens. Therefore, their pre-existing natural duty of justice binds them to continue to contribute to their own state. Building on this argument, I argue that in a non-democratic context, citizens are complicit in maintaining the non-democratic order. The natural duty of justice requires individuals to help the establishment of just and democratic institutions. Citizens' complicity makes resistance to injustice in their own non-democratic state especially relevant for them. In other words, complicity 'particularises' citizens' natural duty of justice and transforms it into special obligations, including the political obligation to resist injustice. It is also important to recognise the diversity of non-democratic regimes. Different regime characters may affect whether or not citizens have a political obligation to resist. Therefore, I also offer a regime-type-based analysis of citizens' political obligation to resist. I conclude that only citizens in hard-core authoritarian regimes do not have the obligation to resist.

Book excerpt: Its existence is a reality of everyday life, yet the notion of the state is not well understood. How did the state originate and what is the source of its authority? This is the primary focus of Martin Sicker's Genesis of the State. Sicker does not consider this as just another academic question: The citizen's moral obligation to obey the state is intimately related to the legitimacy of the state's authority and the latter depends largely on its sources. This work examines several major approaches to the question of the genesis of political authority that are reflected in the works of a wide range of philosophers and thinkers throughout the ages. Sicker concludes his work with a serviceable contemporary answer. Sicker draws upon western and non-Western sources to illustrate the diverse formulations of theories on the genesis of the state. His intent is to promote insight into the true nature of the state and the basis for its intrusion into our individual and societal lives. Towards this effort, he discounts the conventional notion which treats the several theoretical formulations as overlapping developmental stages of political theory. Social contract, partriarchal, divine, force, and organic theories of the state are all still thriving in political practice if not in the academy. Sicker opens with a discussion of the definition of the state. Having established this common ground, subsequent chapters consider the several primary theoretical approaches to the genesis of the state and political authority.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Citizens around the world look to the state for social welfare provision, but often struggle to access essential services in health, education, and social security. This book investigates the everyday practices through which citizens of the world's largest democracy make claims on the state, asking whether, how, and why they engage public officials in the pursuit of social welfare. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in rural India, Kruks-Wisner demonstrates that claim-making is possible in settings (poor and remote) and among people (the lower classes and castes) where much democratic theory would be unlikely to predict it. Examining the conditions that foster and inhibit citizen action, she finds that greater social and spatial exposure - made possible when individuals traverse boundaries of caste, neighborhood, or village - builds citizens' political knowledge, expectations, and linkages to the state, and is associated with higher levels and broader repertoires of claim-making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book seeks to analyse the impact of globalisation, European integration, mass migration, changing patterns of political participation and welfare state provision upon citizenship in Europe. Uniting theory with empirical examples, the central theme of the book is that how we view such changes is dependent upon how we view citizenship theoretically.The authors analyse the three main theoretical approaches to citizenship: [1] classical positions (liberal, communitarian, and republican), primarily concerned with questions of rights and responsibilities; [2] multiculturalist and feminist theories, concerned with the question of difference; and [3] postnational or cosmopolitan theories which emphasise how citizen rights and behaviours are increasingly located beyond the nation state.Using these theoretical perspectives, the second section of the book assesses four key social, economic and political developments which pose challenges for citizenship in Europe: migration, political participation, the w

Book excerpt: In this collection of essays, Michael Walzer discusses how obligations are incurred, sustained, and (sometimes) abandoned by citizens of the modern state and members of political parties and movements as they respond to and participate in the most crucial and controversial aspects of citizenship: resistance, dissent, civil disobedience, war, and revolution. Walzer approaches these issues with insight and historical perspective, exhibiting an extraordinary understanding for rebels, radicals, and rational revolutionaries. The reader will not always agree with Walzer but he cannot help being stimulated, excited, challenged, and moved to thoughtful analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question, 'Why should I obey the law?' introduces a contemporary puzzle that is as old as philosophy itself. The puzzle is especially troublesome if we think of cases in which breaking the law is not otherwise wrongful, and in which the chances of getting caught are negligible. Philosophers from Socrates to H.L.A. Hart have struggled to give reasoned support to the idea that we do have a general moral duty to obey the law but, more recently, the greater number of learned voices has expressed doubt that there is any such duty, at least as traditionally conceived. The thought that there is no such duty poses a challenge to our ordinary understanding of political authority and its legitimacy. In what sense can political officials have a right to rule us if there is no duty to obey the laws they lay down? Some thinkers, concluding that a general duty to obey the law cannot be defended, have gone so far as to embrace philosophical anarchism, the view that the state is necessarily illegitimate. Others argue that the duty to obey the law can be grounded on the idea of consent, or on fairness, or on other ideas, such as community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many actions that we attribute, at least colloquially, to states. Given their size and influence, states are able to inflict harm far beyond the reach of a single individual. But there is a great deal of unclarity about exactly who is implicated in that kind of harm, and how we should think about responsibility for it. It is a commonplace assumption that democratic publics both authorize and have control over what their states do; that their states act in their name and on their behalf. In Not In Their Name, Holly Lawford-Smith approaches these questions from the perspective of social ontology, asking whether the state is a collective agent, and whether ordinary citizens are members of that agent. If it is, and they are, there's a clear case for democratic collective culpability. She explores alternative conceptions of the state and of membership in the state; alternative conceptions of collective agency applied to the state; the normative implications of membership in the state; and both culpability (from the inside) and responsibility (from the outside) for what the state does. Ultimately, Lawford-Smith argues for the exculpation of ordinary citizens and the inculpation of those working in public services.
