First Edition of Democracy and Disobedience; Signed by Peter Singer
First edition of the noted philosopher's first book. Octavo, original black cloth. Signed by Peter Singer on the title page. Fine in a near fine dust jacket that shows just a touch of rubbing to the extremities.
Democracy and Disobedience focuses on the common view that disobedience to the law, while justifiable in a dictatorship, is much more difficult to justify in a democracy. It then develops a theory of political obligation in an ideal democracy. After discussing various forms of disobedience, the author wonders to what extent systems of government approximate to this ideal and why Western democracies fall short of it. The book concludes with a brief case study: the development of disobedience in Northern Ireland.
