Philosophical Foundation of Human Rights

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the inadequacies of classical philosophical approaches, this textbook argues that only the Kantian concept of human dignity can serve as a solid foundation for human rights. By deriving human rights from this principle, it emphasizes the protection of personhood, enabling distinctions between genuine and spurious rights. Furthermore, it provides a framework for evaluating existing codified rights and suggests pathways for developing new unwritten rights. The work advocates for a significant reassessment of human rights case law to enhance legal clarity and effectiveness.
