Synopsis
Sixty years ago, the political theorist Hannah Arendt, an exiled Jew deprived of her German citizenship, observed that before people can enjoy any of the inalienable Rights of Manbefore there can be any specific rights to education, work, voting, and so onthere must first be such a thing as the right to have rights. The concept received little attention at the time, but in our age of mass deportations, Muslim bans, refugee crises, and extra-state war, the phrase has become the centre of a crucial and lively debate. Here five leading thinkers from varied disciplinesincluding history, law, politics, and literary studiesdiscuss the critical basis of rights and the meaning of radical democratic politics today.
