Book Description:
|
The book examines the early modern debates on just war, transatlantic conquest and slavery, the 18th- and 19th-century shift towards natural science, and contemporary philosophy on decolonization. Political circumstance and exploiting available terminology produced new meanings or "translations" which increasingly developed a momentum of their own.
