TY - JOUR AU - Moauro, Leonardo PY - 2019/09/11 Y2 - 2024/03/28 TI - A Critical Assessment of George Klosko’s Version of the Principle of Fair Play JF - Stance: an international undergraduate philosophy journal JA - stance VL - 4 IS - 1 SE - Articles DO - 10.33043/S.4.1.61-68 UR - https://openjournals.bsu.edu/stance/article/view/1785 SP - 61-68 AB - <p>The nature of our obligation to obey the law has consistently been an important object of philosophical dispute. Fair play based theories of obligation purport to show that it is unfair for us to benefit from an<br>organizational scheme (such as the state) without contributing our fair share to the provision of goods. George Klosko is a major proponent of this approach. I develop his particular version of the argument from fair play into a defensible theory of citizens’ obligation to obey the laws of their state.</p> ER -
