Odera Oruka and the Right to a Human Minimum

An African Philosopher's Defense of Human Dignity and Environment

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book advances Oruka's argument that the right to a human minimum is the most basic and necessary (though not sufficient) means to ensuring human dignity, a precondition to functioning as a moral agent. It also defends and promotes an understanding of justice as ensuring both egalitarian and ecological fairness at the global level.
