In this book, Flynn stresses the vital role of intercultural
dialogue in developing a non-ethnocentric conception of human
rights. He argues that Jurgen Habermas's discourse theory provides
both the best framework for such dialogue and a much-needed middle
path between philosophical approaches that derive human rights from
a single foundational source and those that support multiple
foundations for human rights (Charles Taylor, John Rawls, and
various Rawlsians). By analyzing the historical and political
context for debates over the compatibility of human rights with
Christianity, Islam, and "Asian Values," Flynn develops a
philosophical approach that is continuous with and a critical
reflection on the intercultural dialogue on human rights. He
reframes the dialogue by situating it in relation to the
globalization of modern institutions and by arguing that such
dialogue must address issues like the legacy of colonialism and
global inequality while also being attuned to actual political
struggles for human rights.
