Beskrivning

This book explores both the possibilities and limits of arguments from human nature in the context of human rights. Is it plausible to justify the claim to universal validity of human rights by reference to human nature? Or does the idea of human rights in its modern, post-1945 manifestation go, in essence, beyond human nature?
