This book presents a reexamination of the first principles of political philosophy from a 20th-century perspective. Basing his argument on the imperfection of people, Lucas discusses the nature of political argument and political obligation, and analyzes such traditional questions as sovereignty, constitutionalism, coercion, natural law and the rule of law, legality, equality, freedom, and justice.
