Postmodernism and Fundamental Human Rights in Latin America

More about the book

Focusing on the postmodern theories of human rights, this book emphasizes community and duty over individual rights, particularly in the context of Latin America. It examines the nurturing role of the state and the reciprocal relationship between the state and individuals, arguing that postmodern principles clash with the concept of universal human rights. The text traces the historical evolution of philosophical approaches to natural rights and analyzes human rights protection in Latin American states through the lens of postmodern reality and legal philosophy.
