{"product_id":"9780198279631","title":"Political Theory of Rights","description":"Rights are basic building blocks of the contemporary state,  and yet their rigorous justification is notoriously difficult. This book provides a thorough analysis of this central topic in modern political discourse. The book challenges the orthodox view that rights are a type of property claim in one's body. Drawing on the tradition of the social contract as  well as the wealth of recent work in political theory the book argues for a different conception of rights. Rights are conceived as a certin type of political claim, justified by a Kantian ideal of autonomy. Moreover, that justification provides a moral basis for rights that, while independent of law and custom, is also tied to an image of citizenship particularly suited to the pluralistic nature of contemporary liberal society.","brand":"Attracta Ingram","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45742000931134,"sku":"9780198279631","price":2669.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/products\/9780198279631.jpg?v=1707222473","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780198279631","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
