商品描述

This book develops a philosophical conception of human rights that responds satisfactorily to the challenges raised by cultural and political critics of human rights, who contend that the contemporary human rights movement is promoting an imperialist ideology, and that the humanitarian intervention for protecting human rights is a neo-colonialism. These claims affect the normativity and effectiveness of human rights; that is why they have to be taken seriously. At the same time, the same philosophical account dismisses the imperialist crusaders who support the imperialistic use of human rights by the West to advance liberal culture.

Thus, after elaborating and exposing these criticisms, the book confronts them to the human rights theories of John Rawls and Jürgen Habermas, in order to see whether they can be addressed. Unfortunately, they are not. Therefore, having shown that these two philosophical accounts of human rights do not respond convincingly to those the postco

lonial challenges, the book provides an alternative conception that draws the understanding of human rights from local practices. It is a multilayer conception which is not centered on state, but rather integrates it in a larger web of actors involved in shaping the practice and meaning of human rights. Confronted to the challenges, this new conception offers a promising way for addressing them satisfactorily, and it even sheds new light to the classical questions of universality of human rights, as well as the tension between universalism and relativism.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書發展了一種人權的哲學概念，能夠令人滿意地回應文化和政治批評者對人權所提出的挑戰，他們主張當代人權運動正在推動一種帝國主義意識形態，而為了保護人權而進行的人道主義干預則是一種新殖民主義。這些主張影響了人權的規範性和有效性；這就是為什麼它們必須被認真對待。同時，這一哲學觀點也駁斥了那些支持西方以人權推進自由文化的帝國主義鬥士。

因此，在詳細闡述和揭露這些批評之後，這本書將其與約翰·羅爾斯（John Rawls）和尤爾根·哈貝馬斯（Jürgen Habermas）的人權理論進行對比，以檢視這些批評是否能夠得到回應。不幸的是，這些理論並未能有效回應。因此，書中展示了這兩種人權的哲學觀點無法令人信服地回應後殖民挑戰，並提供了一種替代的概念，該概念從地方實踐中理解人權。這是一種多層次的概念，並不以國家為中心，而是將國家整合進一個更大的人權實踐和意義塑造的行動者網絡中。面對挑戰，這一新概念提供了一種有希望的方式來令人滿意地應對這些挑戰，並且為人權的普遍性以及普遍主義與相對主義之間的緊張關係等經典問題提供了新的視角。

作者簡介

Fidèle Ingiyimbere was born in Burundi and grew up there, where he had his primary and secondary education. He owns a BA in Philosophy from les Facultés Jésuites de Paris (Centre Sèvres), an MS in Philosophy from Université Catholique d'Afrique Centrale-Institut Catholique de Yaoundé-Cameroun, and MA and a PhD in Philosophy from Boston College. He also holds a BA in Theology from Hekima University College in Nairobi-Kenya and STL from Boston College. His research covers areas of phenomenology and political-social questions, with special attention to the African context. His publications include a book on Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Etre et Expression, esquisse d'une ontologie chez Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and another on Human Rights as Means for Peace: The Catholic Understanding of Human Rights and the Catholic Church in Burundi, and many articles in various journals. My current interests is to continue my theological reflection on the Catholic Church in Burundi from an ethical perspective, and apply phenomenology to the understanding of human rights, as well as to engage with postcolonial discourse with regard to African context.
