Essays on the Thought of Chantal Delsol

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This volume of essays explores the bases and significant aspects of the thought of the contemporary French philosopher, Chantal Delsol. It ranges from studies of her philosophical anthropology to her critique of international law, as well as on her thinking about the human person. An essay on the family enriches and illustrates the latter. A penetrating critic of contemporary European democracy and secular culture, she does so in order to reinvigorate both.
