Description

This volume examines issues raised by the fundamental claim that there are rights belonging to human beings merely by virtue of the fact that they are human. Topics covered include: perspectives on the Bill of Rights; rights and justice; rights, technology, and medicine; rights, ideology, and social theory; rights and freedom; rights, ethnicity, and diversity in the world community. The contributions are taken from selected papers given at a conference on the Bill of Rights sponsored by the North American Society for Social Philosophy in Colorado Springs, Summer 1991.
