Do human rights make sense? They have been central to post-war
political life, and our picture of moral self. But this is being
eroded, Holt argues, and with it the viability of human rights
discourse. The pre-social individual and its mental armoury is
being challenged by an increasing awareness of genealogical forces
in which the self is less a lone claimant than an exponent or
rebel.
Using Wittgenstein's philosophy, this book considers the liberal
position on human rights, along with the communitarian and
pragmatic attacks, and challenges the intelligibility of each from
the perspective of what it is to be a language user. Wittgenstein,
Politics and Human Rights argues that moral relations are not dead;
but that their life resides with the on-going relations of selves
governed by universal principles.
