Abstract: | The following article aims to present the overview of the contemporary philosophical
discourse regarding human rights. In the first part of the text, the author presents three kinds of
arguments used by the opponents of the idea of human rights. Those arguments, in turn, stem
from the supposed universality ascribed to human rights. Thus, in the second part of the article,
the author analyzes the cultural critique of human rights. The discussion ultimately leads to the
conclusion that narrowly-defined cultural relativism does not constitute a sufficient reason for
the rejection of human rights, particularly when one accounts for the fact that those sentiments
are often motivated politically in countries whose governments reject the standards of democracy. |
