关于人权的探究——评《人的权利与人的多样性——人权哲学》

Inquiry into Human Rights by Man——Review on Human Rights and Human Diversity:An Essay in the Philosophy of Human Rights

米尔恩把本书称作一部人权哲学著作,在中文版序中他提到作为理解世界和人类状况的一种尝试,哲学探究不限于任何一种文化和文明的传统。从根本上讲,它是一种人类的探究,任何人都是可以投身于其中的。这里唯一的要求就是苏格拉底的那种“刨根问底”的执着。重新审视米尔恩提出的低限人权,并试图开放出米尔恩的努力所伴随的问题。

A. J. Milne regarded the book Human Rightsand Human Diversity as a work of the philosophy of human rights, and mentioned in its preface that philosophical inquiry into human rights, as an effort to understand the world and human being, should not be limited to any tradition of particular culture and civilization. In essence, philosophical inquiry into human rights is a kind of research by human, that is, each man can make his contribution to the inquiry. Milne＇ s theory of universal minimum human rights is reexamined, and some concomitant questions with Milne inquiry are posed in this review.
