About the Author
291
In this groundbreaking and provocative new book, philosopher of science
David
N.
Stamos challenges the current conceptions of human rights and
argues that the existence of universal human rights is a modern myth. Using
an evolutionary analysis to support his claims, Stamos traces the origin of
the myth from the English Levellers of
1
640s London to our modern day.
Theoretical defenses of the belief in human rights are critically examined,
including defenses of nonconsensus concepts. In the final chapter, Stamos
develops a method of naturalized normative ethics, which he then applies
to topics routinely dealt with in terms of human rights. In all of this, Stamos
hopes to show that there is a better way of dealing with matters of ethics and
justice, a fiction-free way that involves applying the whole of our evolved
moral being rather than only parts of it.
