Recenzii
... an intriguing work that offers many critical insights into the weaknesses and limits of conventional human rights thinking and which, in addition, subjects the very idea of human rights to a painstaking deconstruction which leaves the reader somewhat breathless in the realisation that what might generally be though of as a good and noble ideal is in fact possibly its opposite, at least in the wrong hands. This review simply cannot convey the richness and complexity of this book. It offers a genuine alternative to the rather self-satisfied literature on human rights
Douzinas writes with his usual astonishing range of reference, high intelligence and often startling perception. Moreover, this is the most serious work on the theory of human rights yet to appear in the English language. Douzinas' range of reading and sense of intellectual excitement are unrivalled. His post-modern playfulness has been replaced by a sincere and lucid eloquence, open to all readers....this is work of the greatest seriousness and importance. It is in no sense a textbook, but no student of human rights, scholar or activist can afford to ignore it.
The End of Human Rights... is a thought-provoking critique of the theoretical and historical underpinnings of the apparent commitment to the protection of human rights ...Douzinas' work offers much for thought.
The End of Human Rights is a challenging and thoughful text issuing a challenge to self-assured liberal rights literature.
His method skilfully combines history, philosophy, psychoanalysis and law. The scholarship throughout is remarkable for its range and boldness...... The End of Human Rights is a rich book, full of provocative ideas, which should appeal to any reader concerned about the future of human rights law and practice.
.a well argued and very well written analysis throughout, the book is written in a refreshing tone
