SoSe 17: Human Rights: The Origins of an Idea.

Mashiach Itay

Kommentar

The indisputable place of human rights in our political life and values system today might obscure the fact that this idea, as any other idea, has its own historical development. In this seminar we will trace the origins of human rights and explore the moments in which this concept gained ascendancy. We will join very recent debates in intellectual history: can the roots of human rights be traced back to eighteenth-century European thought? Were nineteenth-century humanitarians human rights activists? When did the concept break through? Was it a response to the Holocaust? Was it a project of the United Nations? Is human rights a Western program? Did anti-colonial movements contribute to its advance? Through these questions we will wonder about the very meaning of human rights, its universality, and its historical uses. Beyond human rights history, participants in this seminar will be acquainted with different approaches in intellectual history. Readings will be mostly in English. Schließen
