We share the back cover:
What does it mean to “have a right”? What are rights for? These are two central questions for the understanding of social and regulatory phenomena and, especially, the legal phenomenon. For this reason, they have concerned a large part of contemporary analytical philosophy of law. This work examines the responses of the leading Anglo-Saxon law philosophers who have faced such questions, from Jeremy Bentham to Matthew Kramer. Likewise, based on the reconstruction of the analytical jurisprudence of rights and the critical examination of its arguments, assumptions and implications, this book develops a theoretical and metatheoretical map of rights. In particular, it explains the contexts of use of rights and formulates the conceptual network in which they are inscribed – in which the notions of “interest” and “duty” stand out – as well as the relationships between these notions, based on multiple models. legal theorists and practices.
