Please, so that we can test such an assertion: 1. Define human rights 2. Provide a methodology by which they can be objectively known. Is a right to be left alone to one's culture a human right? Is a right not to be deprived by outside powers of one's native language a human right? And who gets to set the limits on the outer limits of such a right? (i.e. is the right to advocate the position that genocide of, say, black folk, is desirable a human right? What about pornography?). My own sense is that usually these have no epistemology behind them and are based solely on projecting one's a priori assumptions onto the world. |
