The Rights of Others
| AUTHOR | Benhabib, Seyla |
| PUBLISHER | Cambridge University Press (11/25/2004) |
| PRODUCT TYPE | Paperback (Paperback) |
Description
This book explores the tension between universal principles of human rights and the self-determination claims of sovereign states as they affect the claims of refugees, asylum-seekers and immigrants. Drawing on the work of Kant's "cosmopolitan doctrine" and positions developed by Hannah Arendt, Seyla Benhabib explores how the topic has been analyzed within the larger history of political thought. She argues that many of the issues raised in abstract debate between universalism and multiculturalism can find acceptable solutions in practice.
