Avoiding foundationalist fallacies, it seeks to establish a grounding for the idea of human rights in our unavoidable vulnerability. The book will make a major contribution to the growing contemporary discussion in the field.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—John Torpey,CUNY Graduate Center\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Professor Turner’s work stands as a genuine contribution to an area of human rights analysis much written about but little felt as a problem for individuals—in microscopic no less than macroscopic dimensions. He examines how the process of life-taking is the perverse reverse of life-giving. It thus merits thoughtful reading and analysis by those for whom such weighty matters still form part of the sociological vocabulary.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e—Irving Louis Horowitz \u003ci\u003eContemporary Sociology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This short and often sparkling book brings together many of the intellectual themes with which the followers of Bryan Turner will already be familiar.
