An Approach to Rights contains fifteen previously published but
mostly inaccessible papers that together show the development of
one of the more important contemporary theories of the nature,
grounds and practical implications of rights. In a long
retrospective essay, Carl Wellman explains what he was trying to
accomplish in each paper, how far he believes that he succeeded and
where he failed. Thus the author provides a critical perspective
both on his own theory and on alternative theories from which he
borrows, or that he rejects. These essays identify the problems any
adequate theory of rights must solve, describe the more plausible
solutions and weigh the merits of each. They will be of special
interest to any reader concerned with legal theory, moral
philosophy or any branch of applied ethics or social policy in
which appeals to rights are frequently made but seldom rationally
satisfactory.
