Baltazar Dydensborg

I am a DPhil student in Political Theory.  My research interests centre on questions in the history of political thought, especially as they relate to the emergence and consolidation of modern political and economic institutions and norms, as well as the history and historiography of liberalism. In line with this, my thesis aims to historicise the idea that the Earth was initially given to all men in common.
