The End of Human Rights: Critical Legal Thought at the Turn of the Century

Costas Douzinas

4.9/5 (24183 ratings)

Description:This book, by a leading exponent of the postmodern school of legal theory, falls naturally into three parts. The first part advances a critique of the major theories of human rights synthesizing the main schools of thought on human rights as well as critics of the dominant liberal tradition. The second part of the book discusses the work of Derrida, Levinas, Rorty, and Lyotard, and suggests that none of them has yet produced a workable theory of rights. In the final part the author develops a constructive notion of ethical and just legal practice which both appropriates and is critical of the dominant liberal tradition. Elaborating his own practical and eclectic theory of rights, the author uses case studies of gay and lesbian rights and refugee rights to develops a theory derived from current critical theory which helps evaluate its appropriateness for human rights discourse and practice in the twenty-first century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
