Rubbettino, 2008.90-04-22147-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Knowledge transmission and universality of man in global society -- The other and the paradoxes of universalism -- Religion, human rights, and political conflicts -- Europe : common values and a common identity -- The public sphere and political space -- America and Europe : Carl Schmitt and Alexis de Tocqueville -- Identity and human rights : a glance at Europe from afar -- Human rights, universalism, and cosmopolitanism.Global Society and Human Rights tries to grasp and reconstruct the processes of global unification and the shaping of a common feeling of humanity: the conviction, in different cultural contexts, of the unity of mankind and the existence of inalienable human rights. Contrary to the past, the quest for the unity of mankind does not imply the denial of differences; on the contrary, it brings to light the common traits of the social and political organizations from which the potential recognition and the assertion of individual differences arise. The basic claim set forth in this book is that global society could be the context for the actual assertion of human rights.International comparative social studies ;v. 28.Human rights and globalizationHuman rightsSocial aspectsHuman rightsPhilosophyHuman rights and globalization.Human rightsSocial aspects.Human rightsPhilosophy.323Cotesta Vittorio1944-127884D'Auria Matthew1567656MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910790015003321Global society and human rights3839187UNINA
