The notion of "human rights" is widely used in political and moral discussions. The core idea, that all human beings have some inalienable basic rights, is appealing and has an eminently practical function: It allows moral criticism of various wrongs and calls for action in order to prevent them. On the other hand it is unclear what exactly a human right is. Human rights lack a convincing conceptual foundation that would be able to compel the wrong-doer to accept human rights claims as well-founded. Hence the practical function faces theoretical doubts. The present collection takes up the tension between the wide political use of human rights claims and the intellectual skepticism about them. In particular two major issues are identified that call for conceptual clarification in order to better understand human rights claims both in theory and in practice: the question of how to justify human rights and the tension between universal normative claims and particular moralities.

Toute étape de l'Humanité doit s'organiser autour de principes qui donnent leur unité à ses acteurs. Les sociétés prémodernes ont eu comme problème à résoudre de reconnaître dans la parenté la structure principale de l' "ordre naturel" que la pensée structuraliste a permis d'analyser. Les sociétés modernes ont été fondées sur le culte de la raison et de l'origine divine de l'homme et ont étendu par la connaissance et par l'idée de souveraineté populaire son contrôle et sa transformation du monde. La troisième étape dans laquelle nous venons d'entrer doit reposer sur notre conscience des droits humains fondamentaux : la liberté, l'égalité et les droits qui forment l'individualité de chacun. Nous ne construirons notre société - qui est une société de communication plus que de production -, que si nous respectons ces droits fondamentaux mais aussi l'altérité des autres dans un monde ouvert et l'intimité personnelle de chacun. Cette vision nouvelle doit permettre de repenser des notions fondamentales telles que la gestion des conflits et surtout le dépassement de l'opposition centrale entre les sociétés de droits et les sociétés d'identités.

This book presents a unique collection of the most relevant perspectives in contemporary human rights philosophy. Different intellectual traditions are brought together to explore some of the core postmodern issues challenging standard justifications. Widely accessible also to non experts, contributions aim at opening new perspectives on the state of the art of the philosophy of human rights. This makes this book particularly suitable to human rights experts as well as master and doctoral students. Further, while conceived in a uniform and homogeneous way, the book is internally organized around three central themes: an introduction to theories of rights and their relation to values; a set of contributions presenting some of the most influential contemporary strategies; and finally a number of articles evaluating those empirical challenges springing from the implementation of human rights. This specific set-up of the book provides readers with a stimulating presentation of a growing and interconnecting number of problems that post-natural law theories face today. While most of the contributions are new and specifically conceived for the present occasion, the volume includes also some recently published influential essays on rights, democracy and their political implementation.
