Review
A tightly know critique of rights theory premised on self-ownership and negative rights. (Choice)
In her detailed analyses, Dr Ingram elucidates some important rights associated with liberal democracies ... a politics of autonomy is worth considering and Attracta Ingram's account should be widely read. Some philosophy should not be left to philosophers. (The Irish Times)
The book is persuasive in arguing that the autonomy thesis is true and that autonomy is the proper basis for rights ... This is a good book, with sophisticated discussions of a wide range of contemporary literature. (Ethics)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Rights are basic building blocks of the contemporary state and yet their rigorous justification is notoriously difficult. This book provides a thorough analysis of this central topic in modern political discourse. The book challenges the orthodox view that rights are a type of property claim in one's body.Drawing on the tradition of the social contract as well as the wealth of recent work in political theory the book argues for a differentconception of rights. Rights are conceived as a certain type of political claim, justified by a Kantian ideal of autonomy. Moreover, that justification provides a moral basis for rights that, whileindependent of law and custom, is also tied to an image of citizenship particularly suited to the pluralistic nature of contemporary liberal society. Rights are the basic building blocks of every liberal state. This book addresses fundamental questions about them. What are they? How can they be justified? What role should they play in political life? By offering new and cogent answers to these questions, the book aims to provide a firm foundation for notions such as human rights.
