Why Human Rights?

by » 2/24/2011 3:08:05 PM
Human rights and universal human dignity are values large swaths of human society profess to hold... but why? What grounds our belief in human rights? Can a secular naturalism do it? How? Is religious belief required? What are the effects of specific beliefs of religions to which you or people in your circle hold? For instance, what effect would Christian beliefs about Jesus have on our notions of human rights?
