An Introduction to Rights (Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy and Law)

This accessible introduction to the history, logic, moral implications, and political tendencies of the concept of rights is organized chronologically. Covering such important events as the French Revolution, it is well-suited as an introductory-level, undergraduate text in such courses as political philosophy, moral philosophy, and ethics. The volume can also be used in courses on political theory in departments of political science and government, and in courses on legal theory in law schools.
