This book is based upon a lecture series inaugurating the new
Canadian Museum for Human Rights that took place in Winnipeg,
Canada between September 2013 and May 2014. Fragile Freedoms brings
together some of the most influential contemporary thinkers on the
theory and practice of human rights. The first two chapters, by
Anthony Grayling and Steven Pinker, are primarily historical: they
trace the emergence of human rights to a particular time and place,
and they try to show how that emergence changed the world for the
better. The next two chapters, by Martha Nussbaum and Kwame Anthony
Appiah, are normative arguments about the philosophical foundations
of human rights. The final three chapters, by John Borrows,
Baroness Helena Kennedy, and Germaine Greer, are innovative
applications of human rights to indigenous peoples, globalization
and international law, and women. Wide ranging in its philosophical
perspectives and implications, this volume is an indispensable
contribution to the contemporary thinking on the rights that must
be safeguarded for all people.
