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 \u003cem\u003eA Theory of Legal Personhood\u003c\/em\u003e seeks to go beyond contemporary debates, challenging our very understanding of legal personhood itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on extensive research, scholarship, legislation, and court cases from around the globe, this book offers readers -- with or without previous knowledge -- new insights into legal personhood. It scrutinizes how personhood came to be understood synonymously with the holding of legal rights. It then posits that a better understanding of legal personhood is as a cluster property. Finally, it applies this new theory to explain and structure the numerous debates surrounding legal personhood.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Visa Aj Kurki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198844034\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198844037\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.60w x 0.90d","brand":"Visa Aj Kurki","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946301882623,"sku":"9780198844037","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_cfe75bc4-d7a6-4987-b71e-19f40c541de2.jpg?v=1681512434","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-theory-of-legal-personhood-visa-aj-kurki-9780198844037","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
