Asking whether there ‘is an intrinsic relationship between human rights and the recent wars carried out in their name?’ and whether ‘human rights are a barrier against domination and oppression or the ideological gloss of an emerging empire?’ this book examines a range of topics, including:
- the normative characteristics, political philosophy and metaphysical foundations of our age
- the subjective and institutional aspects of human rights and their involvement in the creation of identity and definition of the meaning and powers of humanity
- the use of human rights as a justification for a new configuration of political, economic and military power.
Exploring the legacy and the contemporary role of human rights, this topical and incisive book is a must for all those interested in human rights law, jurisprudence and philosophy of law, political philosophy and political theory.
