Features: This book is written by A. C. Milne, a professor at Durham University in the United Kingdom. He served as the president of the British Society of Legal and Social Philosophy (1983–1986). The author conducts a comprehensive and profound exploration of the concept of human rights from the perspectives of moral, political, and legal philosophy. He argues that human rights are a moral right, not a political right, and that the minimal human rights should include seven fundamental rights: the right to life, the right to fair treatment, the right to receive assistance, the right to freedom from arbitrary interference, the right to be treated honestly, the right to politeness, and the right for children to be cared for. This book offers unique insights and thought-provoking perspectives, providing a new viewpoint for understanding human rights issues.
