Book Synopsis
What is a human right? How can we tell whether a proposed human right really is one? How do we establish the content of particular human rights, and how do we resolve conflicts between them? James Griffin offers answers in his compelling new investigation of human rights.

Trade Review
Arguably the most significant philosophical meditation on human rights... [since] the Universal Declaration of Human Rights... Not only the most powerful, fully elaborated contemporary philosophical contribution to the topic, but also one that has put in place many of the foundations on which any future work should build. * John Tasioulas, Ethics *
This book is a masterpiece... it will be studied for a long time to come * Brad Hooker, Oxford Journal of Legal Studies *
an impressive effort, which especially focuses on human rights as a moral concept ... [a] thought-provoking work * Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights *
