Rasmussen, Douglas J. Den Uyl1st ed. 2020.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2020.1 online resource (xvii, 274 pages)Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism,2662-64703-030-48434-3 Chapter One:Whence Natural Rights? -- Chapter Two: How to Understand and Justify Individual Rights: A Synopsis -- Chapter Three: On Principle -- Chapter Four: Objections to Natural Rights and Replies -- Chapter Five: Segue -- Chapter Six: On the Rejection of Metaphysical Realism for Ethical Knowledge -- Chapter Seven: On the Alleged Demise of Metaphysical Realism -- Chapter Eight: The Importance of the Realist Turn. .Douglas B. Rasmussen and Douglas J. Den Uyl maintain that a realist turn—namely, one in which the natural order is the basis for individual rights—is needed to bring about a proper understanding and defense of liberty. They argue that the critical character of individual rights results from their being tethered to metaphysical realism. After reprising their explanation and defense of natural rights, Rasmussen and Den Uyl explain metaphysical realism and defend it against neo-pragmatist objections. They show it to be a formidable and preferable alternative to epistemic constructivism and crucial for a suitable understanding of ideal theory.Palgrave Studies in Classical Liberalism,2662-6470EpistemologyPolitical theoryEthicsPolitical philosophyEpistemologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E13000Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Ethicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14000Political Philosophyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E37000Epistemology.Political theory.Ethics.Political philosophy.Epistemology.Political Theory.Ethics.Political Philosophy.323.44Rasmussen Douglas Bauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut240698Den Uyl Douglas Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910420927203321The Realist Turn2195606UNINA
