More about the book
Focusing on the legal concept of self-defense, this book examines the differing paths of England and Germany, highlighting the development of theories surrounding legitimate resistance to authority. It argues that German theories significantly influenced English notions of 'natural rights,' particularly in the works of thinkers like Parker and Locke, challenging previous assumptions about their impact. The exploration provides a nuanced understanding of how these legal concepts evolved in distinct national contexts while interacting with each other.
