Manage episode 332995663 series 2927172
Claims of rights are very prominent in the current news: some adopt the language of rights to express pride, whereas others use it to voice their moral outrage against injustice.
But what do we mean by rights? Is everything a right simply by making it law? Are rights inherent in human life or part of human dignity?
Or maybe, there's a perspective (a philosophical one) that can help you navigate even the most contentious debates of rights at the deepest, most fundamental level.
In this episode, Leopold Ajami and Ricardo Pinto take you through a framework and methodology for thinking about rights. Whether you want to become an active advocate of certain rights or an informed, responsible citizen, this episode is designed to give you the tools to become an effective communicator and thinker of the pressing issues of the day.
