release notes/summary (backcover information)
"We hold these truths to be self-evident..." So
begins the U.S. Declaration of Independence. What
follows those words is a ringing endorsement of
universal rights, but it is far from self-evident.
Why did the authors claim that it was? William
Talbott suggests that they were trapped by a
presupposition of Enlightenment philosophy: That
there was only one way to rationally justify
universal truths, by proving them from self-
evident premises. With the benefit of hindsight,
it is clear that the authors of the U.S.
Declaration had no infallible source of moral
truth. For example, many of the authors of the
Declaration of Independence endorsed slavery.
The wrongness of slavery was not self-evident;
it was a moral discovery. In this book, William
Talbott builds on the work of John Rawls, Jurgen
Habermas, J.S. Mill, Amartya Sen, and Henry Shue
to explain how, over the course of history, human
beings have learned how to adopt a distinctively
moral point of view from which it is possible to
make universal, though not infallible, judgments
of right and wrong. He explains how this
distinctively moral point of view has led to the
discovery of the moral importance of nine basic
rights. Undoubtedly, the most controversial issue
raised by the claim of universal rights is the
issue of moral relativism. How can the advocate
of universal rights avoid being a moral
imperialist? In this book, Talbott shows how to
defend basic individual rights from a universal
moral point of view that is neither imperialistic
nor relativistic. Talbott avoids moral imperialism
by insisting that all of us, himself included, have
moral blindspots and that we usually depend on
others to help us to identify those blindspots.
Talbott's book speaks to not only debates on human
rights but to broader issues of moral and cultural
relativism, and will interest a broad range of
readers.
