Political Obligations and Jacobins and Utopians

Political Obligations , George Klosko, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2005, pp. x, 266. Jacobins and Utopians: The Political Theory of Fundamental Moral Reform , George Klosko, Notre Dame, IN: University of Notre Dame Press, 2003, pp. xii, 200. Perhaps two of the most persistent and perplexing questions in political theory are: Why should I obey the law (or the state)? And, what is the relation between human perfection and politics? Can (or must) human beings realize their true nature through politics? Or is any such hope not only misplaced, but dangerous—one that is itself a problem that political theory must confront? In these two thoughtful books, George Klosko sets out to address them, drawing on a remarkably diverse range of material to do so
