The Idea of Human Rights: Four Inquiries Hardcover - 1998 - 1st Edition
by Michael J. Perry
Summary
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, todisentangle the complex idea of human rights by way of four probing and interrelated essays.* The initial essay, which is animated by Perry's skepticism about the capacity of any secular morality to offer a coherent account of the idea of human rights, suggests that the first part of the idea of human rights--the premise that every human being is "sacred" or "inviolable"--is inescapablyreligious.* Responding to recent criticism of "rights talk", Perry explicates, in his second essay, the meaning and value of talk about human rights.* In his third essay, Perry asks a fundamental question about human rights: Are they universal?
First line
The idea of human rights-the idea that has emerged in international law in the period since the Second World War-is complex.
