Much political discourse simply proceeds from the idea that humans have rights because they are human without seriously interrogating this notion. \u003ci\u003eEgalitarian Rights Recognition\u003c\/i\u003e offers an account of how human rights are created and how they may be seen to be legitimate: rights are created through social recognition. By combining readings of 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Century English philosopher T.H. Green with 20\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e Century political theorist Hannah Arendt, the author constructs a new theory of the social recognition of rights. He challenges both the standard ‘natural rights’ approach and also the main accounts of the social recognition of rights which tend to portray social recognition as settled norms or established ways of acting. In contrast, Hann puts forward a 10-point account of the dynamic and contingent social recognition of human rights,which emphasises the importance of meaningful socio-economic equality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2018-06-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781349955503\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-59597-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 197\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752471261324,"sku":"9781349955503","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781349955503.jpg?v=1775956165","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781349955503","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
