Costas Douzinas

The Radical Philosophy of Rights (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

After 1989, human rights have expanded into a vernacular touching every aspect of social life. They are seen as the key concept in morals and politics and a main tool for forging individual and collective identities. They are the ideology after 'the end of ideologies' - the only values left after 'the end of history'.
