Should we respect the exercise of this right of necessity in a variety of scenarios - from street pickpocketing and petty theft to illegal squatting and encamping? In this concise and accessible book, Alejandra Mancilla addresses these complex and controversial moral questions. The [book] presents a historical account of the concept of the right of necessity-from the medieval writings of Christian canonists and theologians to seventeenth century natural law theory. Mancilla goes on to ground this right in a minimal conception of basic human rights, and she proposes some necessary and jointly sufficient conditions for its exercise. She confronts the main objections that may be posed against this principle and ultimately concludes that the exercise of this right should be considered as a trigger to secure a minimum threshold of welfare provisions for everyone, everywhere."--Back cover.CosmopolitanismCosmopolitanism.5,1ssgnCC 7700rvkCC 7750rvkMancilla Alejandra1502443MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798426503321The right of necessity3730221UNINA
