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. 606 $aCosmopolitanism 615 0$aCosmopolitanism. 686 $a5,1$2ssgn 686 $aCC 7700$2rvk 686 $aCC 7750$2rvk 700 $aMancilla$b Alejandra$01712637 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825812903321 996 $aThe right of necessity$94104957 997 $aUNINA
