The sources of rights: What are rights? -- Is God the source of rights? -- Is Nature the source of rights? -- Are there other "external" sources of rights? -- Do constitutional democracies really need an external theory of rights? -- Do we need to invent an external source of rights--even if it does not really exist? -- Is natural law a helpful or harmful fiction? -- What, then, is the source of rights? -- 2. Some challenges to experience as the source of rights: Is there always a right answer? -- If rights do not come from God or Nature, how are they different from mere preferences? -- Does the experiential approach confuse philosophy with sociology? -- Can rights produce wrongs? -- Is the debate over external sources of rights a liberal-conservative issue? -- 3. Applying the experiential theory of rights: Can experiential rights check the abuses of majority rule? -- Is there a right "to life"? -- Is there a right not to be censored by government? -- Is there a right to have church and state separated? -- Is there a right to emigrate and/or immigrate? -- Do animals have rights? -- Do dead people have rights in their organs? Conclusion : the future of rights | |

| 520 | |a From one of the preeminent legal scholars of modern times and the author of "Supreme Injustice" comes a completely original answer to one of the most difficult questions in legal philosophy: What is the source of human rights? | ||
| 520 | 1 | |a "In Rights from Wrongs, renowned legal scholar Alan Dershowitz puts forward a wholly new and compelling answer to one of the most persistent dilemmas in both law and moral philosophy: where do our rights come from? Does something called "natural law" really exist outside of what is written in constitutions and legal statutes? If so, how can we know what this law says, and why are rights not the same everywhere and in all eras?" "In this book, Dershowitz offers a fresh resolution to this age-old dilemma: Rights, he argues, do not come from God, nature, logic, or law alone. They arise out of particular human experiences with injustice. While justice is an elusive concept, hard to define, and subject to conflicting interpretations, injustice is immediate, intuitive, widely agreed upon, and very tangible. Rights from Wrongs is the first book to propose a theory of rights that emerges not from some theory of perfect justice but from its opposite: from the bottom up, from trial and error, and from our collective experience of injustice. Human rights come from human wrongs."--BOOK JACKET | |
