The philosophy of human rights has, in recent years, revolved around a supposed dilemma. On the one hand, some contend that the normative system of human rights should be understood from a moral point of view that is independent of conventional practice of human rights. Others contend that the normative system of human rights should be understood from a point of view that is internal to the practice of human rights. A New Philosophy of Human Rights: The Deliberative Account takes on the ambitious task of offering a new philosophy of human rights grounded in the proposition that the current debate is centered on a mistaken assumption. After identifying this error, Joshua J. Kassner develops a novel philosophical account grounded in a deliberative process that leverages the epistemic and practical functions of the practice of human rights, bridging the divide between orthodox and political accounts and promising a more hopeful and constructive future for the philosophy of human rights. The book ends with suggestions for institutional design and reform to transform the promise into reality.
