Human Rights as Social Construction

Meer over het boek

The book explores the idea that human rights are not merely imposed by institutions but are shaped and validated by the collective acceptance of ordinary individuals. Benjamin Gregg argues that the legitimacy of human rights hinges on their embrace by the communities they affect, emphasizing the role of grassroots movements in the evolution of these rights. Through this perspective, the work invites readers to consider the dynamic relationship between society and the principles of justice and equality.
