Natural Rights - David George Ritchie - Bog

""Natural Rights: A Criticism Of Some Political And Ethical Conceptions"" is a book written by David George Ritchie in 1903. The book is a critical analysis of the concept of natural rights, which is a philosophical idea that asserts that certain rights are inherent to all human beings, regardless of their social, legal, or political status. Ritchie argues that the concept of natural rights is flawed and that it is not a sound basis for political and ethical theory. He contends that natural rights are not objective, but rather subjective and that they are based on personal beliefs and values. The book explores various philosophical arguments and theories related to natural rights, including those of John Locke, Immanuel Kant, and Jeremy Bentham. Ritchie's critique of natural rights is based on his belief that they are not universal, but rather culturally and historically specific. The book is a significant contribution to the field of political philosophy and continues to be relevant to contemporary debates about the nature of rights and their role in society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
