The first systematic analysis of the arguments made against human
rights from the French Revolution to the present day. Through the
writings of Edmund Burke, Jeremy Bentham, Auguste Comte, Louis de
Bonald, Joseph de Maistre, Karl Marx, Carl Schmitt and Hannah
Arendt, the authors explore the divergences and convergences
between these 'classical' arguments against human rights and the
contemporary critiques made both in Anglo-American and French
political philosophy. Human Rights on Trial is unique in its
marriage of history of ideas with normative theory, and its
integration of British/North American and continental debates on
human rights. It offers a powerful rebuttal of the dominant belief
in a sharp division between human rights today and the rights of
man proclaimed at the end of the eighteenth century. It also offers
a strong framework for a democratic defence of human rights.
