Sommario/riassunto

This book discusses the potential for Kant’s political and juridical philosophy to shed light on current social challenges and policy. By considering Kant as a contemporary and not above moral responsibility, the authors explore his political theory as the philosophical foundation of human rights, discussing the right to citizenship, social dynamics and the scope of global justice. Focusing on topics such as society, Kant’s position on human rights, domestic economic justice, public education and moral virtue, the authors



analyse the shortcomings of Kant’s modes of thought and help the reader to gain new perspective both on this classical thinker and on more contemporary issues. .
