New Essays on the Nature of Rights
«New Essays on the Nature of Rights is an important work that those working on the nature of rights will want to read.»
George W Rainbolt, University of North Florida, The Philosophical Quarterly
This original collection of jurisprudential essays furthers our understanding of the nature of rights. In Part 1, Halpin considers the value of Hohfeldian neutrality when theorising about law in general, and legal rights in particular, and Kurki focuses on Hohfeld’s operative notion of power. Les mer
'A fine collection of cutting-edge essays on the most important normative concept of modernity.'
Professor Leif Wenar, King’s College London
'This important collection proceeds much beyond the famous 1998 A Debate Over Rights which sets the stage for the debates concerning rights since then. It explores three aspects of rights. First it re-examines the Hohfeldian classification and highlights its importance and relevance. Second it investigates and develops the debates between the interest and the will theory. It includes essays by the main established proponents of these two positions as well as essays by newcomers to this field. The different essays in this part address each other in ways which sharpen and clarify the disagreements and provide new original arguments for the contending views. Last, it provides a new perspective on the debates concerning conflicts of rights and the ways to overcome them. This collection will no doubt dominate the future conceptual discussions concerning the nature of rights and their role in political theory.'
Professor Alon Harel, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
