Description

Explore the fundamental questions surrounding the validity of human rights in this academic study from Routledge. As human rights discourse faces erosion in post-war political life, this book examines how our understanding of the moral self is changing. Holt investigates the shift from the idea of a pre-social individual with a private mental armoury to a modern awareness of genealogical forces that shape the self. By applying the philosophy of Wittgenstein, the text analyzes the liberal position on human rights and addresses the various communitarian and pragmatic challenges currently facing the field. This work provides a deep look into whether human rights remain intelligible in a world where the self is viewed less as a lone claimant and more as a product of social forces. It is an essential read for those studying the intersection of political philosophy, civil liberties, and the evolving nature of human rights discourse.
