In a culture in which it was widely believed that there is no God or metaphysical order of any kind, on what basis, if any, could the idea of human rights long survive?" "The Idea of Human Rights: Four Inquiries" will appeal to students of many disciplines, including (but not limited to) law, philosophy, religion, and politics. Of all the influential - indeed, formative - and moral ideas to occupy centre stage in the twentieth century, the notion of human rights is for many the most difficult.
Inspired by a 1988 trip to El Salvador, Michael J. Perry's new book is a personal and scholarly exploration of the idea of human rights. Perry is one of our nation's leading authorities on the relation of morality, including religious morality, to politics and law. He seeks, in this book, to disentangle the complex idea of human rights by way of four probing and interrelated essays. The book will appeal to students of many disciplines, including (but not limited to) law, philosophy, religion, and politics.
