This edited work collates novel contributions on contemporary
topics that are related to human rights. The essays address
analytic-descriptive questions, such as what legal personality
actually means, and normative questions, such as who or what should
be recognised as a legal person. As is well-known among jurists,
the law has a special conception of personhood: corporations are
persons, whereas slaves have traditionally been considered property
rather than persons. This odd state of affairs has not garnered the
interest of legal theorists for a while and the theory of legal
personhood has been a relatively peripheral topic in jurisprudence
for at least 50 years. As readers will see, there have recently
been many developments and debates that justify a theoretical
investigation of this topic. Animal rights activists have been
demanding that some animals be recognized as legal persons. The
field of robotics has prompted questions about driverless cars:
should they be granted a limited legal personality, so that the car
itself would be responsible for damages? This book explores such
concepts and touches on matters of bioethics, animal law and
medical law. It includes matters of legal history and appeals to
both legal scholars and philosophers, especially those with an
interest in theories of law and the philosophy of law.
