Synopsis
This book presents the foundations of a liberal individualistic theory of rights, and explains what rights we have and do not have, why we have them, who is and who is not a holder of rights, and the place of rights within the overall structure of morality. The author argues for the moral importance of individual commitments to 'projects', and demonstrates the implications of this for a variety of problems and issues.

Review
`Profound, arresting and radically original book ... In a brilliant exploration of the morality of individualism, Lomasky applies a fresh and drastic turn of mind to the derivation of basic rights and thereby contests some of the most deeply entrenched suppositions of moral and political philosophy ... His argument is the best we have in defence of basic rights.' Times Literary Supplement
`The book is so good that no right-minded and human philosophical reviewer will escape twinges (to put it mildly) of professional jealousy...superb book...highly readable, enormously entertaining, and far too full of moral truths to be confined to the artificial world of the academic.' Reason
`interesting and useful bookMind
`it displays insight and perspicuity throughout ... an important first step towards developing a philosophically respectable theory of rights.' Law and Philosophy
