Biography
Dudley Knowles is Professor of Political Philosophy at the University of Glasgow. He is the author of Political Philosophy and Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, also published by Routledge, as well as many articles.
'In this book, Dudley Knowles develops a novel approach to the problem of political obligation and,according to this approach, critically evaluates several leading theories. Ultimately, Knowles offers a well-written, critical introduction to the problem of political obligation, suitable for readers unfamiliar with the topic, and yet relevant for those with more familiarity ... If nothing else, Knowles’s distinction between the philosophical and political problems, perhaps his most unique contribution to the literature, should give pause to anyone attempting to argue for or against any particular theory of political obligation.' – Ryan Gabriel Windeknecht, Keele University, UK, In-Spire, Journal of Law, Politics and Societies, Winter Issue 2009
