Lectures on the Principles of Political Obligation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781023505116)

"Lectures on the Principles of Political Obligation," by Thomas Hill Green and Bernard Bosanquet, remains a cornerstone of political philosophy, exploring the fundamental questions surrounding political obligation, rights, and citizenship. This meticulously reprinted edition, with a preface by Bernard Bosanquet, delves into the core principles that underpin our relationship with the state and society.

A significant contribution to social contract theory, Green's work examines the moral basis of laws and the extent to which individuals are obligated to obey them. The lectures explore competing theories of political obligation, analyzing the rights of citizens and the ethical considerations involved in governance. This volume offers profound insights into the philosophical foundations of political science, jurisprudence, and the very nature of a just society. Ideal for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the enduring debates surrounding political authority and individual liberty. Reprinted from Green's Philosophical Works, Vol. 2.
