The philosophy of human rights has, in recent years, revolved around a supposed dilemma. On the one hand, some contend that the normative system of human rights should be understood from a moral point of view that is independent of conventional practice of human rights. Others contend that the normative system of human rights should be understood from a point of view that is internal to the practice of human rights. A New Philosophy of Human Rights: The Deliberative Account takes on the ambitious task of offering a new philosophy of human rights grounded in the proposition that the current debate is centered on a mistaken assumption. After identifying this error, Joshua J. Kassner develops a novel philosophical account grounded in a deliberative process that leverages the epistemic and practical functions of the practice of human rights, bridging the divide between orthodox and political accounts and promising a more hopeful and constructive future for the philosophy of human rights. The book ends with suggestions for institutional design and reform to transform the promise into reality.
Joshua J. Kassner is professor and director of the philosophy program at the University of Baltimore.
