This book takes a distinctive and innovative approach to a
relatively under-explored question, namely: Why do we have human
rights? Much political discourse simply proceeds from the idea that
humans have rights because they are human without seriously
interrogating this notion. Egalitarian Rights Recognition offers an
account of how human rights are created and how they may be seen to
be legitimate: rights are created through social recognition. By
combining readings of 19th Century English philosopher T.H. Green
with 20th Century political theorist Hannah Arendt, the author
constructs a new theory of the social recognition of rights. He
challenges both the standard 'natural rights' approach and also the
main accounts of the social recognition of rights which tend to
portray social recognition as settled norms or established ways of
acting. In contrast, Hann puts forward a 10-point account of the
dynamic and contingent social recognition of human rights, which
emphasises the importance of meaningful socio-economic equality.
