What Are Human Rights?
there are two main rights theories.
positive rights: freedom to
negative rights: freedom from.
There is a lot of contention among philosophers about what are human rights. some say strictly negative, some say strictly positive.
some say its 50/50.
please discuss.

1 Antworten[quote]What Are Human Rights?[/quote] A cute idea, unless there are enough to go around and they are irrevocable. Like Carlin said. Some people don't have any to begin with. And they're not rights if they can be taken away; they're privileges.

Definitely more so, if not entirely negative rights. Unlike positive rights, it requires no action on the part of others, besides an entity like the government enforcing only that others can't interfere. Positive rights on another hand require something to be provided, often at the expense of the work and labor of someone else. The issue with labeling those human rights, is that if no one can provide another with said service, then there is a human rights violation because someone did not use their labor to give them said service. That can be particularly dangerous in certain situations in a way negative rights are not. If we get more general, if it is a human right now, then it must be a human right in the past as well. We won't be disregarding the humanity of those who came before us. So the people who haven't received said positive or negative rights depending on your view, would have had their rights violated. And only one really seems reasonable to be able to provide in the early days of humanity, as positive rights, or at least the ability to have them is a very first world idea. Because places with less development have a harder time having the ability to provide what many will call positive rights to their people. Tldr: In a free society, a human right cannot be something that requires the labor of others.

Not to answer with another question, but what about "inherent" human rights?

Imaginary

3 AntwortenPersonally I believe that you cannot compel anyone to do anything. All human rights have to definitionally be negative because any action you take must be made in consideration of another’s rights

1 AntwortenWell, humans are miserable piles of secrets, so human rights are secret rights, and secret rites are the best kind to perform when attempting to summon demons and the like.

2 AntwortenHuman rights are just our arrogance and entitlement given form. The only real "right" anything [i]truly[/i] has is to exist until it doesn't.

12 AntwortenHuman Rights are not basic things existing forever. We had to create them to combat depravity, and then transform them into law to enforce it. To your question, the rights we are given by most countries are the freedom to do something, which will often give us freedom from something else. Sometimes, it's the freedom NOT to do something.

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von pValue2010: 8/23/2022 1:40:39 PMBy human rights, are you meaning: 1. How I think they should be defined? 2. How my society currently defines them? Or 3. What those rights are in an objective/cosmic/godly sense, irrespective of society?

When people live in a society, they generally need to cooperate in order to sustain the society as a whole. So, that society creates rules by which its citizens have to abide for the greater good of the society. These are what we know as laws. Underpinning these specific laws are certain opinions, notions, principles and axioms which the society takes to be 'self-evident'. The laws only have power whilst these principles remain unquestioned and at the heart of law-making. The principles and opinions that relate to human beings specifically are called 'human rights' and can include such things as the 'right' to be treated fairly by a court when accused of breaking the law, the 'right' to a certain standard of life including access to shelter, food, drinking water, etc., and even the 'right' to just be alive and not to be killed by another.

I think human rights is some word that conjures up a theoretical time bomb called people.

Well, to find that just look at the Constitution. Life, liberty, property (changes to pursuit of happiness by Jefferson, original idea from John Locke). The Bill of Rights has a ton of natural rights in it as well. Mainly I think Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness. Liberty includes so many.

5 AntwortenBearbeitet von TheArtist: 8/22/2022 7:15:28 PMDepends on what society and what stage of development a society is at. Prior to Western civilization (ancient Athens) there was no such concept of “rights”. You just had duties you were expected to fulfill to your leader, your family/tribe/city-state. It was ancient Athens and the later Roman Republic that introduced the notion of individual rights. After the fall of Rome, it reappeared during the European Enlightenment. Where we get the emergence of modern representative government. The notion that power ultimately rests in the people, and the notion that people have a right to self-determination. While people look to The US Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution as the foundation for human rights, I believe that the notion of human rights didn’t really crystallize until WWII and the outrage at it’s atrocities, and the momentum that post-modernism gained as a result. Why? Because prior to the mid 20th Century most notions of “rights” centered around the protection of property rather that individual freedom to live. This changed in the middle of last century and the focus became centered around the right to individual self-determination. So imo, the bedrock treatise on human rights are The Four Freedoms given by FDR in 1941: 1. The Freedom of Speech 2. The Freedom of Worship 3. The Freedom from Want. 4. The Freedom from Fear. All other human rights are built upon these four. These are the pillars upon which the right to self-determination are built upon.

Human rights are an excuse used by Twitter users to justify the deplorable sh*t they get up to.

Here before this gets taken down.

Rights are a buzzword used to justify whatever dumb opinion you have

Humans should have rights to speech and rights to property.

3 AntwortenThese "rights" are subjective and change drastically depending on where you are, who you are, and who has control to gift or remove them.
