| Description: |
Attempts to establish a non-religious foundation for the idea of human rights, engaging with the writings of many key thinkers in the field, including Michael J Perry, Alan Gewirth, Ronald Dworkin and Richard Rorty. This book is of interest to students and scholars of political theory, philosophy, religious studies and human rights. |
| Synopsis: |
The argument that religion provides the only compelling foundation for human rights is both challenging and thought-provoking and answering it is of fundamental importance to the furthering of the human rights agenda. This book establishes an equally compelling non-religious foundation for the idea of human rights, engaging with the writings of many key thinkers in the field, including Michael J. Perry, Alan Gewirth, Ronald Dworkin and Richard Rorty. Ari Kohen draws on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a political consensus of overlapping ideas from cultures and communities around the world that establishes the dignity of humans and argues that this dignity gives rise to collective human rights. In constructing this consensus, we have succeeded in establishing a practical non-religious foundation upon which the idea of human rights can rest. In Defense of Human Rights will be of interest to students and scholars of political theory, philosophy, religious studies and human rights. |
