A celebratory collection of essays on philosophy, rights and natural law, inspired by the work of Knud HaakonssenOver his long and illustrious career, Knud Haakonssen has explored the role of natural law in formulating doctrines of obligation and rights in accordance with the interests of early modern polities and churches. A hallmark of his approach has been to show how natural law in early modern Europe was not a unified doctrine, but a field of crosscutting idioms that prosecuted competing political and juridical programmes.The essays collected in this volume range across this exciting and contested field. These studies acknowledge Haakonssen's immense academic achievement and give us new insights into the cultural and political role of law and rights in a variety of historical contexts and circumstances. Key FeaturesCrosses national, disciplinary, intellectual and ideological bordersDeals with a wide range of contexts and aspects over a chronological period from the Reformation to the aftermath of the French RevolutionCovers an unusually wide range of questions at the intersection between natural law, religion and politicsContributors include Maria Rosa Antognazza, James Harris, Simone Zurbuchen and John Cairns"
