""Natural Rights: A Criticism Of Some Political And Ethical Conceptions"" is a philosophical work written by David George Ritchie and published in 1903. The book is a critique of the concept of natural rights, which is a central idea in political philosophy. Ritchie argues that the notion of natural rights is flawed and that it cannot provide a solid foundation for ethical and political systems. He examines various arguments for natural rights, such as those put forth by John Locke and Thomas Jefferson, and shows how they are based on unfounded assumptions and logical fallacies. Ritchie also explores the implications of natural rights for issues such as property rights, freedom of speech, and the role of government. The book is a significant contribution to the ongoing debate about the nature and validity of natural rights and their place in modern society. It is a must-read for anyone interested in political philosophy, ethics, or the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
