This timely book by internationally regarded scholar of ethics and
social/political philosophy Michael Boylan focuses on the history,
application, and significance of human rights in the West and in
China. Boylan engages the key current philosophical debates
prevalent in human rights discourse today and draws them together
to argue for the existence of natural, universal human rights.
Arguing against the grain of mainstream philosophical beliefs,
Boylan asserts that there is continuity between human rights and
natural law and that human beings require basic, essential goods
for minimum action. These include food, clean water and sanitation,
clothing, shelter, and protection from bodily harm, including basic
healthcare. The achievement of this goal, Boylan demonstrates, will
require significant resource allocation and creative methods of
implementation involving public and private institutions. Using the
classroom-tested dynamic approach of combining technical argument
with four fictional narratives about human rights, the book invites
readers to engage with the most important aspects of the
discipline.
