Reviews for On Political Obligation

A new book by Judith Shklar, a quarter century after her death? To their credit, Samantha Ashenden and Andreas Hess found her last set of lectures on political obligation from the Greeks to the present in the archives, and have produced a wonderful edition. Shklar's admirers can rejoice at the chance to enroll in her unforgettable course. -Samuel Moyn, author of Not Enough: Human Rights in an Unequal World I can hear Dita talking in these lectures-her combination of wisdom and common sense, her impatience with foolishness, and her democratic invitation to students. You too, she says, can know all this if you just work very hard. -Michael Walzer, author of A Foreign Policy for the Left
