Recenzii
'In this important book Boylan the philosopher and Boylan the novelist join forces. By combining fine stories; conceptual, historical, and literary analysis; an extended systematic argument; and pertinent case studies, Boylan successfully develops his theory of universal human rights. A demonstration of admirable scholarship and a superb addition to philosophy!' Klaus Steigleder, Ruhr University Bochum, Germany
'In this innovative and accessible work on human rights Michael Boylan has managed to successfully integrate case studies, history of ideas, and general policy prescription with original philosophical analysis. The result is a valuable teaching and learning tool.' Seumas Miller, Charles Sturt University and Delft University of Technology
'Michael Boylan's Natural Human Rights is to be considered both as an introduction to the history of our thinking about human rights, as well as a proper defense and a contemporary justification. Discussing major issues of today's society, Boylan is offering his own view and is prepared to engage in a journey with the classics and the moderns.' Bart Raymaekers, Institute of Philosophy, Leuven
'A comprehensive, profound, carefully crafted study of the theory of natural human rights. Scholarship at its best.' Amitai Etzioni, George Washington University, and author of The New Golden Rule
