| Abstract: | Philip Allott is Professor Emeritus of International Public Law at Cambridge and a Fellow of Trinity College. He was at one time a legal adviser in the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office. His Eunomia. New Order for a New World (1990/2001) proposed a new general theory of International Law, as the true law of a true international society comprising all human societies and all human beings.
For more, see: http://trin-hosts.trin.cam.ac.uk/fellows/philipallott/ In July last year, he published Eutopia. New Philosophy and New Law for a Troubled World. That book uses the 500th anniversary of Thomas More’s Utopia (1516) as the starting-point for a similar overview of the present and possible future state of the human world, including the human world at the global level. His talk will draw attention to the essential features of this personal summa philosophica. |
