Visa AJ Kurki, "A Theory of Legal Personhood"
English | 2019 | pages: 241 | ISBN: 0198844034 | PDF | 2,5 mb
Who, or what, is a 'person' according to the law? How did this understanding of personhood come about? In the twenty-first century, environmentalism, animal rights, artificial intelligence, and corporate personhood have compelled us to consider these questions once again. Legal personhood is a foundational concept of Western legal thought and A Theory of Legal Personhood seeks to go beyond contemporary debates, challenging our very understanding of legal personhood itself.
