Workshop: Philosophy of Human Rights
This is a workshop in connection with the "Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Human Rights" (co-edited by Jesse Tomalty and Kerri Woods).
Main content
The Handbook aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state of the art of the Philosophy of Human Rights, which engages with conceptual and normative questions about human rights, including questions about their nature, justification, content, scope, implications, and applications. In this workshop, some of the contributors to the volume will meet at UiB to present and discuss their chapters, which will be circulated to participants in advance.
