Perry, Alan Gewirth, Ronald Dworkin and Richard Rorty. Ari Kohen draws on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a political consensus of overlapping ideas from cultures and communities around the world that establishes the dignity of humans and argues that this dignity gives rise to collective human rights. In constructing this consensus, we have succeeded in establishing a practical non-religious foundation upon which the idea of human rights can rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn Defense of Human Rights\u003c\/em\u003e will be of interest to students and scholars of political theory, philosophy, religious studies and human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ari Kohen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415420156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415420150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.38w x 0.71d","brand":"Ari Kohen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086600024319,"sku":"9780415420150","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eababf4d-4494-4dee-80a1-805c36e02fca.jpg?v=1769095618","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-defense-of-human-rights-ari-kohen-9780415420150","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
