The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Human Rights is an outstanding resource covering key questions, problems, and debates in scholarship on the nature, justification, authority and relevance of human rights.

The volume comprises 35 chapters by leading scholars from a range of philosophical orientations and traditions. The Handbook is divided into five sections:　

• Approaching the Philosophy of Human Rights


• Grounds of Human Rights


• Critical Perspectives


• Contemporary Human Rights Issues


• Human Rights of Groups

The volume is essential reading for students and researchers in philosophy who are interested in understanding human rights. It is also a valuable resource for those in related fields including law, political science, sociology, and the humanities.

“Not the usual suspects with the usual arguments, this exceptionally international array of authors includes leading theorists, but also a richly diverse set of fresh voices escaping tired dichotomies (and tired trichotomies!). This Handbook features path-breaking dialogues with conventional positions as well as provocative proposals, for the benefit of students and academics interested in an updated and expanded discourse on the Philosophy of Human Rights.”

-- Henry Shue, author of Basic Rights (2020) and The Pivotal Generation (2021).
