Description
The Right to Have Rights By Stephanie DeGooyer, Alastair Hunt, Lida Maxwell and Samuel Moyn In an era marked by mass deportations, Muslim bans, refugee crises, and extra-state war, the concept of 'rights' has become increasingly relevant. This book explores the critical basis of rights and the meaning of radical democratic politics today through the lens of five leading thinkers from varied disciplines. The idea that there must be a fundamental right to have rights before specific rights can be enjoyed is a crucial one, as observed by Hannah Arendt in 1949. The concept has since become the center of a lively debate, with implications for our understanding of democracy and human rights. This collection brings together five prominent thinkers to discuss the significance of this idea and its relevance to contemporary politics. Through their contributions, these scholars shed light on the complexities of radical democratic politics and the importance of protecting fundamental rights in the face of rising authoritarianism and inequality.
