Christos Yannaras pioneering critique of the concept of the right
of the individual is presented in English for the first time. This
central aspect of political theory (since Hegels Philosophy of
Right) summarizes the philosophical and cultural identity of the
paradigm of modernity, but the philosophical assumptions underlying
the concept of right have not hitherto been subject to scrutiny.
Yannaras shows that the starting-point of the concept of right is a
phenomenalistic naturalism, which presupposes an abstract concept
of the human subject as a fundamentally undifferentiated natural
individual. The question is also explored of how the priority
accorded to this concept of right is related to the contemporary
crisis of the modern politico-social paradigm, while a new preface
from the translator underlines the continued significance of
Yannaras proposal for Anglophone readers. Against the modern
concept of right with its illusion of objectivity, The Inhumanity
of Right sketches out the basic lines of a political theory that
prioritizes new social needs that reflect the relational character
of the human person.
