Reviews

This is an outstanding collection of papers that address deeply contested questions about the nature and foundations of human rights, and in particular, consider to what extent an institutional, contextual, and 'functional' approach can bypass philosophical enquiries aimed at establishing moral truths. All readers, whether they are new to these debates or already well acquainted with them, will be richly rewarded. Jeffrey Goldsworthy, Monash University
