Ebook: Conrad Summenhart’s Theory of Individual Rights

This book aims to provide a detailed and systematic account of Conrad Summenhart’s (1455-1502) language of individual rights. This study analyses Summenhart’s theory in its historical context treating it as a culmination of late medieval discourse on individual rights, particularly useful to those interested in the origin of human rights language, modern political individualism, and late medieval and early modern political and moral philosophy.
