It was first used in the late 18th century, in the West. However, many of the basic ideas behind that concept had long been current in various other cultures and civilizations. The book traces those ideas on a journey to some unexplored, or insufficiently explored, sources of what we now call human rights, in three stages: ancient China with Confucius and Mencius; the golden age of Islam with Avicenna, Averroes and Ibn Khaldun; and 16th century Spain with Las Casas and de Vitoria. The author?s conclusion is that human rights and the fundamental concepts of reason, justice and dignity which underlie them can be a powerful, leavening source of universal human unity. 410 0$aNijhoff law specials ;$v77. 606 $aHuman rights$xHistory 606 $aHuman rights$zChina$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aHuman rights$zIslamic Empire$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aHuman rights$zSpain$xHistory$y16th century 615 0$aHuman rights$xHistory. 615 0$aHuman rights$xHistory 615 0$aHuman rights$xHistory 615 0$aHuman rights$xHistory 676 $a341.4/8 700 $aLeuprecht$b Peter$01613605 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811233103321 996 $aReason, justice and dignity$93942996 997 $aUNINA
