Download or read book The Concept of Rights written by George W. Rainbolt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-03-09 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to have a right? Previous answers to this question fall into two groups: interest/benefit theories of rights and choice/will theories. This book proposes an alternative to these traditional views: the justified-constraint theory of rights, which avoids the pitfalls of earlier theories, and solves the puzzle of the relational nature of rights. The analysis shows that this theory applies without modification to past, present and future beings.
