'We live in a moment of overlapping crises: in a radically unequal and dangerously warming world, populism, xenophobia, and closing space for dissent are the background conditions to which the acute calamities of a global pandemic and its dire economic consequences have been added. These intersecting emergencies have left human rights advocates searching for frameworks capable of generating new visions bold enough to tackle the challenges we face. Moving beyond legal foundations, The Changing Ethos of Human Rights, edited by Hoda Mahmoudi, Alison Brysk and Kate Seaman, offers perspectives on rights rooted in traditions such as philosophy, spirituality, and feminism. In these spaces, the contributors find an ethos of care that centers the interdependence of all human beings, offering a pathway forward in the midst of peril.' -- Margaret L. Satterthwaite, New York University School of Law, US 'This is a foundational book that reveals how the emerging relational approaches to human rights invoke a new morality of care ethics. The essays here are widely disparate yet satisfyingly integrated around the common theme of care. Together they move human rights into a new era, one in which Aristotle's virtue ethics intersects with feminist theory and the new rhetoric of human rights, with the contradictions of Islamic women's rights, and with the use of digitalization to preserve culture rights.' -- Richard P. Hiskes, University of Connecticut, US
