9780415527842: Tensions of Modernity

Synopsis

Where is the boundary line between civilization and barbarism drawn? When is the Other really Other, and thus no longer deserving of rights? Daniel R. Brunstetter expertly examines the place of inequality within the liberal thread of modernity by turning to the intellectual history surrounding the European discovery of the New World, and the notion of the human that emerged from the intellectual debates about the rights of the Indians.
