Taking as its example human rights, it develops a distinctive kind of conceptual analysis that enables us to see with precision how the concept of human rights was formed in the eighteenth century.The first chapter outlines an innovative account of concepts as cultural entities. The second develops an original methodology for recovering the historical formation of the concept of human rights based on data extracted from digital archives. This enables us to track the construction of conceptual architectures over time.Having established the architecture of the concept of human rights, the book then examines two key moments in its historical formation: the First Continental Congress in 1775 and the publication of Tom Paine?s Rights of Man in 1792. Arguing that we have yet to fully understand or appreciate the consequences of the eighteenth-century invention of the concept ?rights of man,? the final chapter addresses our problematic contemporary attempts to leverage human rights as the most efficacious way of achieving universal equality. 606 $aCivil rights$xHistory 606 $aHuman rights$xHistory 606 $aLiberty 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCivil rights$xHistory. 615 0$aHuman rights$xHistory. 615 0$aLiberty. 676 $a323 700 $aDe Bolla$b Peter$f1957-$0447173 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463057003321 996 $aThe architecture of concepts$92478098 997 $aUNINA
