Description
Christos Yannaras' groundbreaking critique of the concept of individual right is now available in English for the first time. This central aspect of political theory has shaped the modern paradigm, but its underlying philosophical assumptions have never been thoroughly examined. Yannaras challenges the notion that the human subject can be reduced to a fundamentally undifferentiated natural individual, instead highlighting the relational character of the person. He argues that this understanding is crucial for developing a new social order that prioritizes the needs of individuals in relation to one another. A new preface from the translator underscores the continued relevance of Yannaras' ideas for Anglophone readers, offering fresh insights into the nature of right and its implications for modern society.
