Unlike universal theories that rely on shared commitments to divine authority or to an 'enlightened' way of reasoning, Ackerly's theory relies on rigorous methodological attention to difference and disagreement. She sets out human rights as at once a research ethic, a tool for criticism of injustice and a call to recognize our obligations to promote justice through our actions. This book will be of great interest to political theorists, feminist and gender studies scholars and researchers of social movements.Human rightsFeminist theoryHuman rights.Feminist theory.323Ackerly Brooke A1627846MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910823903603321Universal human rights in a world of difference3964620UNINA
