Abstract
Chapter 6 is devoted to associative political obligations. After presenting the lay of the associativist land, the chapter focuses on Ronald Dworkin’s liberal, dignity-based associativist account of political obligation, defended in his 2011 book Justice for Hedgehogs. From this account, the discussion derives political obligations to resist injustice, understood as violation of or threat to dignity. Dignitary political membership, under certain circumstances, justifies even violent and undignified resistance. The chapter also defends an associative political obligation to assert one’s dignity even when there is no hope of achieving anything else. Finally, dignitary political membership supports a political obligation of solidarity among and with the oppressed.
