Overview
This book offers a critique and reconceptualization of the ways in which our political obligations - what we owe to political authorities and communities, and the reasons why we ought to obey their rules - have been traditionally conceptualized, justified, and contested. Justin Mueller uses a unique and novel approach, drawing from theories of time and temporality as an analytical lens for understanding both individual theories of political obligation (such as those that appeal to consent, social contract, or fairness) and the parameters and assumptions of the literature on political obligation in general.
