: Legal Theory BlogReidy on Human Rights & Toleration
By Lawrence Solum
David A. Reidy, J.D., Ph.D. (University of Tennessee - Department of Philosophy) has posted Human Rights and Liberal Toleration on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
In this paper, I respond to Jim Nickel's criticisms of John Rawls's conception of human rights in 'The Law of Peoples.' In the process, and in the context of developing what I take to be a Rawlsian position on human rights, I explore the relationships between human rights and two forms of liberal toleration. I close by noting four fault lines running beneath the surface of a good deal of contemporary theoretical debate over human rights. I suggest that advancing that debate is unlikely absent closer and fuller attention to these fault lines.
