What makes something a human right? What is the relationship
between the moral foundations of human rights and human rights law?
What are the difficulties of appealing to human rights?
This book offers the first comprehensive survey of current thinking
on the philosophical foundations of human rights. Divided into four
parts, this book focusses firstly on the moral grounds of human
rights, for example in our dignity, agency, interests or needs.
Secondly, it looks at the implications that different moral
perspectives on human rights bear for human rights law and
politics. Thirdly, it discusses specific and topical human rights
including freedom of expression and religion, security, health and
more controversial rights such as a human right to subsistence. The
final part discusses nuanced critical and reformative views on
human rights from feminist, Kantian and relativist perspectives
among others.
The essays represent new and canonical research by leading scholars
in the field. Each section is structured as a set of essays and
replies, offering a comprehensive analysis of different positions
within the debate in question. The introduction from the editors
will guide researchers and students navigating the diversity of
views on the philosophical foundations of human rights.
