Klappentext zu „Human Rights and Relative Universalism “
This book argues that human rights cannot go global without going local. This important lesson from the winding debates on universalism and particularism raises intricate questions: what are human rights after all, given the dissent surrounding their foundations, content, and scope? What are legitimate deviances from classical human rights (law) and where should we draw "red lines"? Making a case for balancing conceptual openness and distinctness, this book addresses the key human rights issues of our time and opens up novel spaces for deliberation. It engages philosophical reasoning with law, politics, and religion and demonstrates that a meaningful relativist account of human rights is not only possible, but a sorely needed antidote to dogmatism and polarization.

Pressezitat
"It is highly recommended to academicians who seek to have a clear and strong explanation for the true scope of rights and understanding how particularistic interpretation of rights must be handled effectively." (Afrin Khan, Manchester Journal of Transnational Islamic Law & Practice, Vol. 16 (1), 2020)
