Hannah Arendt and the Challenge of Modernity explores the theme of
human rights in the work of Hannah Arendt. Parekh argues that
Arendt's contribution to this debate has been largely ignored
because she does not speak in the same terms as contemporary
theoreticians of human rights. Beginning by examining Arendt's
critique of human rights, and the concept of "a right to have
rights" with which she contrasts the traditional understanding of
human rights, Parekh goes on to analyze some of the tensions and
paradoxes within the modern conception of human rights that Arendt
brings to light, arguing that Arendt's perspective must be
understood as phenomenological and grounded in a notion of
intersubjectivity that she develops in her readings of Kant and
Socrates.
