Beskrivning
This study investigates the thinking of European authors from Vitoria to Kant about political justice, the global community, and the rights of strangers as one special form of interaction among individuals of divergent societies, political communities, and cultures. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it covers historical material from a predominantly philosophical perspective, interpreting authors who have tackled problems related to the rights of strangers under the heading of international hospitality. Their analyses of the civitas maxima or the societas humani generis covered the nature of the global commonwealth. Their doctrines of natural law (ius naturae) were supposed to provide what we nowadays call theories of political justice. The focus of the work is on international hospitality as part of the law of nations, on its scope and justification. It follows the political ideas of Francisco de Vitoria and the Second Scholastic in the 16th century, of Alberico Gentili, Hugo Grotius, Samuel Pufendorf, Christian Wolff, Emer de Vattel, Johann Jacob Moser, and Immanuel Kant. It draws attention to the international dimension of political thought in Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, David Hume, Adam Smith, and others. This is predominantly a study in intellectual history which contextualizes ideas, but also emphasizes their systematic relevance.

Recensioner i media

'This is a fascinating, at times brilliant book...Georg Cavallar demonstrates a command of the wider context of classical international political theory � classical and modern � that is pretty much unrivalled in the contemporary literature... remarkable... I doubt if there is anyone working in the field of international political theory today who could not learn a great deal from this book....(it) is packed with stimulating re-readings and fascinating mini-case-studies... a very good book...' History of Political Thought 'Cavallar goes beyond simple intellectual history in his willingness to embrace the sceptical challenge to ethical theorizing. He uses historical scholarship to illumine the recurring character of the thick/thin debate about conceptions of political justice... The Rights of Strangers is a very rich text in which Cavallar combines philosophical and ethical analysis, intellectual history and critical reflection on methodology. It is original in both content and in aim, bringing astute historical and philosophical scholarship to bear on important issues of contemporary concern.' Kantian Review '... articulate and insightful...' Leiden Journal of International Law
