Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the evolution of moral ideas, particularly the concept of property rights. The author argues that the notion of property ownership has undergone significant transformations throughout history. Initially, possession was determined by physical control of an object. However, as societies grew more complex, the concept of ownership expanded to include abstract ideas and legal frameworks. The author examines how the treatment of property rights varies across cultures and time periods, influenced by factors such as social norms, economic systems, and religious beliefs. The book sheds light on the interplay between individual rights and societal values, providing valuable insights into the foundations of human morality and the development of legal systems. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333861940_0
