Description

Do human rights make sense in contemporary political discourse? This Routledge publication critically examines how human rights have shaped post-war moral and political life, whilst questioning whether this foundation is eroding. The author argues that our understanding of the pre-social individual and its conceptual framework faces challenges from genealogical perspectives that reframe the self not as an isolated rights-claimant but as a product of broader social forces. Using Wittgenstein's philosophical approach, the book analyses the liberal position on human rights alongside communitarian and pragmatic critiques, interrogating the coherence and intelligibility of each framework. This work bridges philosophy and political theory, offering readers a rigorous examination of how Wittgensteinian thought can illuminate fundamental questions about rights, identity, and the grounds of political legitimacy in the modern world.

Key Features

This Routledge book applies Wittgenstein's philosophy to interrogate the foundations and viability of human rights discourse in contemporary politics.

The text examines liberal, communitarian, and pragmatic perspectives on human rights, challenging the intelligibility of each position through philosophical analysis.

The author explores how genealogical awareness of the self challenges the pre-social individual model underlying traditional rights theory.

Published by Routledge, this work bridges academic philosophy and political theory for scholars and students of government, civil rights, and political thought.
