Articulates an overall theory of legal personhood, seeking to explain virtually all of the multifarious issues surrounding this topic.
Review:
[O]ffers a workable and unifying account of legal personhood that tracks contemporary advancements in analytical jurisprudence whilst masterfully incorporating a long‐neglected subject into that broad tradition. […] The broad scope of the topics, the timelessness of the issues, and the rigor with which Kurki tackles them all make this book no less than an instant classic.
[T]his ambitious book is an important and witty contribution to the question of personhood in and outside of bioethics that goes beyond the traditional debates, and a starting point into the normative debates as well as further analytical clarifications.
