The essays collected in this volume range across this exciting and contested field. These 13 new essays acknowledge Haakonssen''s immense academic achievement and give us new insights into the cultural and political role of law and rights in a variety of historical contexts and circumstances.

Christian Thomasius (1655-1728) was a tireless campaigner against the political enforcement of religion in the early modern confessional state. In a whole series of combative disputations - against heresy and witchcraft prosecutions, and in favour of religious toleration - Thomasius battled to lay the intellectual groundwork for the separation of church and state and the juridical basis for pluralistic societies. In this 2007 text, Ian Hunter departs from the usual view of Thomasius as a natural law moral philosopher. In addition to investigating his anti-scholastic cultural politics, Hunter discusses Thomasius'' work in public and church law, particularly his disputations arguing for the toleration of heretics, providing a revealing comparison with Locke''s arguments on the same topic. If Locke sought to base toleration in the subjective rights protecting Christian citizens against an intolerant state, Thomasius grounded it in the state''s duty to impose toleration as an obligation on intolerant citizens.

“A análise da ficção sobre monstros, chama a atenção para o caráter problemático da natureza da subjetividade pressuposta na teoria pedagógica — sobretudo na teoria pedagógica crítica. A “pedagogia dos monstros” não desenvolve uma pedagogia dirigida à formação de monstros nem uma pedagogia que utilize os monstros com fins formativos. A “pedagogia dos monstros” recorre aos monstros para mostrar que o processo de formação da subjetividade é muito mais complicada do que nos fazem crer os pressupostos sobre o “sujeito” que constituem o núcleo das teorias pedagógicas — críticas ou não.”

Adult readers, especially those who have read Ian Hunter''s first book ''e-Love'', about sex and relationships in the electronic age, will recognise the next stage of a man''s sexual journey in this erotically charged volume. e-Dreams, the second book in the series trilogy, re-introduces John, who embarks upon his second of three unique cyber-adventures while seeking a greater understanding of himself. The first book left John hungry for another cyber relationship. This time around, when John reviews the Yahoo Personals intending to place another advertisement, he spots a potential kindred spirit in Nathalie, who possesses ''motherly'' strength. Though childless, this married woman admits to a great capacity for love, while introducing John not only to the extremes of eroticism, but also ensnares him in the Web of pornography. With Nathalie''s encouragement, John embarks upon new writing adventures. The scenes he conjures are enticing to her, yet almost deranging to him. Ultimately, he bombards her with ideas he never knew were inside him, including vampirism, conquest, and bestiality. Theirs seems a meeting of minds and bodily ambitions. e-Dreams reaches the highest levels of the e-erotic scale.
