This book takes the novel approach of framing Political Obligation as
a situation rather than a problem. By doing so, Political Obligation
is not considered as an issue to be solved, but a central condition of
existence to be investigated and understood. The book launches a
hermeneutic inquiry into how this relationship of obligation is
constructed through encounters in which the citizen comes face-to-face
with the existential manifestations of the State. The book first
discusses the dominant approaches to Political Obligation to elucidate
the benefits of an existential hermeneutical approach. The notion of
encounter is then developed into a hermeneutic approach capable of
uncovering and interpreting the arguments, ideas, and narratives of
obligation as are communicated in political communities. Finally, the
limitations of this approach are considered in reference to the
concerns of the Post-truth era.
