Truth, Politics, and Universal Human Rights

by Janet Holl Madigan

Book Overview

This book uses the concept of universal human rights to explore the relationship between the individual, society, and truth. To answer the question of how we say something universally true about human beings while lacking the philosophical means to do so, the author explores the changing relationship between truth and politics from Plato to Locke.
