A Political Theory of Rights by Attracta Ingram (English) Paperback Book

Description: A Political Theory of Rights by Attracta Ingram Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Rights are the basic building blocks of every liberal state. This book addresses fundamental questions about them. What are they? How can they be justified? What role should they play in political life? By offering new and cogent answers to these questions, the book aims to provide a firm foundation for notions such as human rights. Publisher Description Rights are basic building blocks of the contemporary state and yet their rigorous justification is notoriously difficult. This book provides a thorough analysis of this central topic in modern political discourse. The book challenges the orthodox view that rights are a type of property claim in ones body. Drawing on the tradition of the social contract as well as the wealth of recent work in political theory the book argues for a differentconception of rights. Rights are conceived as a certain type of political claim, justified by a Kantian ideal of autonomy. Moreover, that justification provides a moral basis for rights that, whileindependent of law and custom, is also tied to an image of citizenship particularly suited to the pluralistic nature of contemporary liberal society. Author Biography Ingram is a Lecturer in Politics at the University College, Dublin.
