The Problem of Political Authority

More about the book

Challenging the conventional view of state authority, the book posits that the belief in the state's moral right to command obedience is a fallacy. It asserts that the idea of the state possessing inherent authority is an illusion, suggesting that the justification for enforcing laws through threats of violence lacks a legitimate foundation. This thought-provoking exploration invites readers to reconsider the nature of state power and its relationship with individual autonomy.
