Basic, natural human rights have been identified as the bulwark
against government oppression and tyranny-- by John Locke, for
example -- but are always disputed by skeptics on numerous grounds.
Human Rights and Human Liberties takes up the challenge of those
disputes and argues that human beings do indeed have the
fundamental, unalienable rights to their lives, liberty, pursuit of
happiness, and so forth -- indeed, to do whatever they will that
does not violate the rights of others (even if the exercise of
their rights isn't wise, prudent, or civil). That is the meaning of
living as free adult men and women, with all the benefits and risks
that flow from it. This book is especially germane now that the
most prominent legal theorists in the West tend to dismiss basic
human rights and even insist they are grants of governments, just
as this had been viewed in earlier times when monarchs and such
were believed to rule people and grant them some privileges.
