Justifying the Obligation to Die

Meer over het boek

Exploring the philosophical foundations of state obligations, this book examines how political thought from various eras justifies compelling individuals to risk their lives for the community, particularly in wartime. Utilizing Zionism as a case study, it illustrates practical applications of this obligation. The author further engages with Hannah Arendt's political theories to present a framework for understanding when such obligations may be deemed justifiable, providing a nuanced perspective on the intersection of duty and individual agency.
