We prize loyalty in our friends, lovers and colleagues, but loyalty raises difficult questions. What is the point of loyalty? Should we be loyal to country, just as we are loyal to friends and family? Can the requirements of loyalty conflict with the requirements of morality? In this book, originally published in 2007, Simon Keller explores the varieties of loyalty and their psychological and ethical differences, and concludes that loyalty is an essential but fallible part of human life. He argues that grown children can be obliged to be loyal to their parents, that good friendship can sometimes conflict with moral and epistemic standards, and that patriotism is intimately linked with certain dangers and delusions. He goes on to build an approach to the ethics of loyalty that differs from standard communitarian and universalist accounts. His book will interest a wide range of readers in ethics and political philosophy.

Ob es um den Kopftuchstreit geht oder um die Bedeutung von anständig bezahlter Arbeit, um die Pflichten gegenüber Armen oder um den Umgang mit Tieren und der Natur: 'Respekt' und 'Anerkennung' gehören zu den wichtigsten moralischen Begriffen unserer Zeit. In allen Fällen geht es grundlegend um die Frage, was Menschen einander und anderen Lebewesen moralisch schulden und warum. Allerdings ist in der philosophischen Diskussion vielfach unklar, was die Begriffe jeweils bedeuten und ob sie konzeptionell zusammenpassen. Es ist daher ein Anliegen dieses Buches, die Begriffe grundlegend zu klären, eine vermeintliche Konkurrenz aufzulösen und beide Prinzipien in eine Konzeption zu integrieren. Der erste Begriff 'Respekt' ist dabei als ein basales normatives Prinzip zu verstehen, welches sich auf fundamentale moralische Ansprüche richtet, das heißt im Fall von Menschen auf ihren Anspruch, in ihrer Würde, ihrer Autonomie, ihrer Freiheit und ihren grundlegenden Interessen geachtet zu werden. Allein dies reicht aber für ein würdevolles und gutes Leben nicht aus: Der zweite Begriff der 'Anerkennung' geht darüber hinaus und richtet sich auf konkrete Bedürfnisse und Leistungen. Berücksichtigt man dann noch die Wichtigkeit von verwandten moralischen Einstellungen wie Toleranz, Rücksicht und Mitgefühl, so entsteht ein anspruchsvolles multikriterielles Ethikmodell, welches adäquat auf die Herausforderungen unserer pluralen und multikulturellen Gesellschaften antwortet.

Do citizens have an obligation to obey the law? This book differs from standard approaches by shifting from the language of obedience (orders) to that of deference (normative judgments). The popular view that law claims authority but does not have it is here reversed on both counts: law does not claim authority but has it. Though the focus is on political obligation, the author approaches that issue indirectly by first developing a more general account of when deference is due to the view of others. Two standard practices that political theorists often consider in exploring the question of political obligation - fair-play and promise-keeping - can themselves be seen as examples of a duty of deference. In this respect the book defends a more general theory of ethics whose scope extends beyond the question of political obligation to questions of duty in the case of law, promises, fair play and friendship.
