Recenzii
'Benjamin Gregg's book advances an idea of the local and particular that, while normatively rich, invites an openness to universal norms as well. While denying any easy answers to the moral universalist, the argument is well placed to fend off many of the familiar skeptical objections to the idea of human rights. Professor Gregg writes with urgency and clarity, and his book should be read by both cosmopolitans and their critics.' Richard Vernon, Distinguished University Professor, University of Western Ontario
'In a lively style, Gregg engages a topic both familiar and urgent: the status of human rights. Gregg shows why the traditional question about human rights - are they universal, or local and parochial - is misplaced. Rights are both. To be actual, they must be worked out and justified locally. But their local force requires that there be something universal about them. With verve and conviction, Gregg shows how the 'human rights state' is a workable ideal.' Russell Muirhead, Robert Clements Associate Professor of Democracy and Politics, Dartmouth College
'Benjamin Gregg's brilliantly reasoned, strikingly original, and profoundly challenging approach to human rights theory and practice may be the most significant contribution on this theme in the last decade. It deserves the widest possible reading and debate.' Richard A. Falk, Professor Emeritus of International Law and Practice, Princeton University

Descriere
Benjamin Gregg believes human rights can be created by the ordinary people whom they address and are valid only if embraced by those to whom they apply.
