Wronging Rights? (eBook, ePUB)

Philosophical Challenges for Human Rights
Redaktion: Rathore, Aakash Singh; Cistelecan, Alex

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together two of the most powerful and relevant philosophical critiques of human rights: the post-colonialist and the post-Althusserian. Its balanced internal structure does not just throw these two critiques together, but actually forces them to enter into confrontation and dialogue.
