Synopsis

Within the modern discourse of human rights, the issue of identity has been largely neglected. This book explores how the notion of human identity informs the ethical goal of justice in human rights. Rights are conceived as something that are owned by each independent self, and that guarantee the exercise of its autonomy. Critically engaging this subject of rights, The Self, Ethics & Human Rights considers how recent shifts in the concept of identity and, more specifically, the critical humanist notion of 'the other', provides a basis for re-imagining the foundation of contemporary human rights.
