Document Summary
Shklar found that it is not that easy to get away from political evil. 1. it useful to obey the state; you live here and living here affords you some benefits: there are sanctions for disobedience, creates caous in society, you agree to obey the state; unspoken consent (taside consent) We obey the state because it is a natural law: my obedience is unforced. The state that i"m obeying does good for its citizens. We owe obligation to the laws that the state makes. For shklar political loyalty is emotional, not primarily rational; not governed by rules, its governed by sentimate. Conflicting loyalties: loyal to your family and loyal to a group and they are deeply conflicted. There is tension between political loyalty and political obligation, but the also work together; example. Hirschman builds the argument by thinking of the term exit and the term of voice, uses logical reasoning, he thinks under what conditions they operate on, thinking deductively.
