ALCANCE Y LÍMITES DEL DEBER DE OBEDIENCIA AL GOBIERNO SEGÚN HUME

Abstract

Hume’s legitimation of government is explored, as well as the arguments he gives to make room for civil resistance, without thereby asserting a right to resistance. To this end he distinguishes between natural obligation —or obligation of interest— and moral obligation —supported by moral sentiment. Thanks to this distinction he is in a position to distinguish normality and exception, and characterize the sort of situation which could back up actions of civil resistance.
