Reframing the Intercultural Dialogue on Human Rights: A Philosophical Approach b

Description: Reframing the Intercultural Dialogue on Human Rights by Jeffrey Flynn In this book, Flynn develops a philosophical approach to human rights that is continuous with and a reflection on the intercultural dialogue on human rights. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this book, Flynn stresses the vital role of intercultural dialogue in developing a non-ethnocentric conception of human rights. He argues that JÜrgen Habermass discourse theory provides both the best framework for such dialogue and a much-needed middle path between philosophical approaches that derive human rights from a single foundational source and those that support multiple foundations for human rights (Charles Taylor, John Rawls, and various Rawlsians).By analyzing the historical and political context for debates over the compatibility of human rights with Christianity, Islam, and "Asian Values," Flynn develops a philosophical approach that is continuous with and a critical reflection on the intercultural dialogue on human rights. He reframes the dialogue by situating it in relation to the globalization of modern institutions and by arguing that such dialogue must address issues like the legacy of colonialism and global inequality while also being attuned to actual political struggles for human rights. Author Biography Jeffrey Flynn is Associate Professor of Philosophy at Fordham University, USA. In 2013-14 he is a Member at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ, USA.

Flynn systematically reconstructs Habermass discourse-theoretical approach to human rights and compellingly argues for its superiority over rival approaches." -- Amy Allen, Dartmouth College, USA"Jeffrey Flynns important new book is aimed at the central issues raised as actors around the globe grapple with the apparent tension between the universal aspirations of human rights and our manifest differences...[It] is a model work of political philosophy: careful and clear in its argument, rich in detail, and ambitious in scope...Flynn is very thorough and charitable toward his interlocutors. Certainly, one cannot find a better critical exposition of Habermas on human rights and global dialogue." -- Stephen C.
