This vulnerability, something humans share amid the diversity of cultural beliefs and values that mark their differences, provides solid ground on which to construct a framework of human rights.Bryan Turner undertakes this task here, developing a sociology of rights from a sociology of the human body. His blending of empirical research with normative analysis constitutes an important step forward for the discipline of sociology. Like anthropology, sociology has traditionally eschewed the study of justice as beyond the limits of a discipline that pays homage to cultural relativism and the ?value neutrality? of positivistic science. Turner?s expanded approach accordingly involves a truly interdisciplinary dialogue with the literature of economics, law, medicine, philosophy, political science, and religion. 410 0$aEssays on human rights. 606 $aHuman rights$xPhilosophy 615 0$aHuman rights$xPhilosophy. 676 $a323.01 700 $aTurner$b Bryan S.$0125145 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777633803321 996 $aVulnerability and human rights$93831462 997 $aUNINA
