Rowan Cruft

Human Rights, Ownership, and the Individual

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Rowan Cruft develops an original theory of rights that partially vindicates this concept's central place in modern moral, political and legal thinking. He defends human rights law as institutionalising pre-legal moral rights, and he calls into question property as an individual right.
