New Freedom

What are the origins of the idea of human rights and universal human dignity? How can we most fully understand and realize these rights going into the future? Internationally renowned sociologist and social theorist Hans Joas tells a story that differs from conventional narratives by tracing the concept of human rights back to the Judeo-Christian tradition or, alternately, to the secular French Enlightenment. Joas sets out a new path, proposing an affirmative genealogy in which human rights are the result of a process of "sacralization" of every human being.

In We Need New Stories, Nesrine Malik explains that all of these arguments are political myths - variations on the lie that American values are under assault.

A liberal society stands on the proposition that we should all take seriously the idea that we might be wrong.
