Size: OS

Written in a style intended to speak to both academics and a general audience,
The Consequences of Rights
addresses what it means to encounter the human rights concept and advocate for rights from the position of the university academic but in the face of the reality that rights are the ultimate "public topic"—a matter of "all members of the human family," as phrased in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
addresses three questions: how, in the face of the notion that all ideas are historical (and hence norms change), can one justify defending human rights, what governmental systems might be suggested by human rights concepts—especially in view of the idea’s universalism—and how might one "write," or communicate about, human rights concepts? Universal rights might be one of many ideas about social order we have maintained over history’s course, rights may ask us to think past the nation in terms of governmental forms, and rights may challenge us to be plain in our language as we address their subject, which is all of us, in the end. In a personal yet academic style,
takes on these topics, inviting the public and scholars alike to consider their views on such problems.
