چکیده مقاله:

Modern world is characterized by ethical, religious and philosophical disagreements among peoples. What are the implications of these doctrinal conflicts- the fact of reasonable pluralism - for our understanding of justice and human rights Do human rights need to be located in a particular secular or religious conception of the good in order to be justified How a conception of human rights can be supported from a range of ethical and religious traditions Since the end of World War II, human rights have emerged as a fundamental concern of international ethics. The so called human rights revolution, like other revolutions, has brought both progress and confusion. It is clear to almost everyone now that there are some rights held by all individual persons but the content, nature, and justificatory basis of these rights are not clear. For clarifying this point, consider two distinguished predominant views about human rights, which familiar from the philosophical literature: ‘maximalism’ or ‘cosmopolitan egalitarianism’ and ‘minimalism’ or ‘humanitarianism.’
