A debate over rights: philosophical enquiries
New York: Clarendon Press. Edited by N. E. Simmonds & Hillel Steiner (1998)
Abstract
This collection of essays forms a lively debate over the fundamental characteristics of legal and moral rights. The essays examine whether rights fundamentally protect individuals' interests or whether they instead fundamentally enable individuals to make choices.Author's Profile
