Synopsis
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.

About the Author
John Simmons is a journalist and the author of several novels, including "Midnight Walking" and "The Sharing". He lives in New York and Paris.
Review
"Both participants have played important parts in the debate over political obligation...and each is eminently qualified to represent his side in the narrower debate that takes place between the covers of their coauthored book...One conclusion seems absolutely clear: the book itself is a winner...Wellman and Simmons both deserve praise for the clarity of their writing and the rigor of their arguments, the result of which is a book that is simultaneously accessible to advanced undergraduates and "must reading" for political philosophers with an interest in the problem of political obligation."
Richard Dagger, Arizona State University, Ethics
