Is liberalism's attempt to defend universal rights an historical and hopeless quest doomed to failure? In this second volume of "The Oxford Amnesty Lecture" series seven political philosphers approach the problem from a variety of perspectives, and illustrate their arguments with a wealth of contemporary and historical examples. Together they grapple with the key question of contemporary political philosophy - articulating universal human rights that always apply in all cultures. The contributors include John Rawls, Richard Rorty, Catharine MacKinnon, Stephen Lukes, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Agnes Heller and John Elster. Susan Hurley is the author of "Natural Reasons".
