{"product_id":"dominus-mundi-pier-giuseppe-monateri-9781509911752","title":"Dominus Mundi: Political Sublime and the World Order","description":"This monograph makes a seminal contribution to existing literature on the importance of Roman law in the development of political thought in Europe. In particular it examines the expression 'dominus mundi', following it through the texts of the medieval jurists - the Glossators and Post-Glossators - up to the political thought of Hobbes. Understanding the concept of dominus mundi sheds light on how medieval jurists understood ownership of individual things; it is more complex than it might seem; and this book investigates these complexities. The book also offers important new insights into Thomas Hobbes, especially with regard to the end of dominus mundi and the replacement by Leviathan. Finally, the book has important relevance for contemporary political theory. With fading of political diversity Monateri argues \"that the actual setting of globalisation represents the reappearance of the Ghost of the Dominus Mundi, a political refoulé - repressed - a reappearance of its sublime nature, and a struggle to restore its universal legitimacy, and take its place.\" In making this argument, the book adds an important original vision to current debates in legal and political philosophy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pier Giuseppe Monateri\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509911758\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509911752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 210\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.60d","brand":"Pier Giuseppe Monateri","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48088483758335,"sku":"9781509911752","price":115.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5610d58f-348c-4f2c-a901-cbbf621801cd.jpg?v=1769105020","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dominus-mundi-pier-giuseppe-monateri-9781509911752","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
