Personhood Beyond Humanism

Meer over het boek

The exploration of legal personhood in this book addresses contemporary issues such as the status of non-human animals, human-animal hybrids, and advancements in technology like artificial autonomic agents. It critiques the humanistic assumptions in legal frameworks and their challenges posed by scientific progress. Additionally, the author proposes a novel concept of non-personal subjecthood, suggesting that these entities, including sentient animals, should hold a singular right: the right to be considered in legal contexts.
