Modernism and the Meaning of Corporate Persons offers a compelling argument by opening up, far beyond traditional doctrinal concerns, novel vistas on corporate personhood that will greatly interest both those working in the field of Law and the Humanities and legal professionals. Crisply written, this is a thought-provoking monograph that forces us to reflect on acute philosophical and ethical questions about what it means to be "a person" in every sense of
the word.
