The History of Rights by Kenneth Pennington (Farsi)

Description

Kenneth Pennington’s The History of Rights is a masterful account of the development of legal and political rights from the medieval world to the modern age. With scholarly depth and clarity, Pennington traces how ideas of justice, liberty, and individual rights evolved through Roman law, canon law, and the European legal tradition. He reveals the pivotal role played by jurists, philosophers, and political thinkers in shaping the very concept of rights we often take for granted today. Accessible and deeply researched, the book bridges history and theory to explain how rights became central to Western political thought. Ideal for students of law, history, and philosophy, it offers a foundational understanding of the roots of modern constitutionalism and human rights. A crucial resource for anyone interested in the enduring struggle for justice and legal recognition.
