Antonio Rosmini on the Question of Justice and Human Rights

Abstract

Starting from Rosmini’s discussion on the issue of foreigners’ rights, the article analyses the author’s thought about justice and individual human rights. It has the following two aims: first, it aims to emphasize Rosmini’s modernity; second, it wants to explain what kind of natural law theory Rosmini refers to, clearing up the interrelationships that our author establishes among right, anthropology, and moral philosophy.
