DESCRIPTION:Peter Danchin: Who is the ‘Human’ in Human Rights? The Claims o
 f Culture and Religion\n\nModern critiques of human rights law force us to 
 confront two conceptual puzzles in the area of the claims of culture and re
 ligion. The first concerns the twin concepts\, often run together\, of the 
 secular and freedom\, and the question of how rights - e.g. the right to fr
 eedom of conscience and religion - mediate between these purportedly univer
 sal or objective positions and the imagined subjective claims of particular
  religious or cultural norms.\n\nThe second concerns the question of what w
 e mean by “human equality” and how this idea relates to deeply-situated iss
 ues of collective identity and culture. Such claims raise complex and diffi
 cult conflicts between equality norms on the one hand\, and religious and c
 ultural freedom norms on the other. In this lecture\, it is argued that a v
 alue pluralist approach to such questions opens the possibility of less dog
 matic and binary accounts of reason and religion in viewing both as human i
 nstitutions and social practices requiring modes of justification and accou
 ntability. In order for this to occur\, however\, the primary obstacle is t
 he inability of Western rights theorists to see their culture as one amongs
 t others.\n\nGraduate Institute Summer Lectures are held live across both c
 ampuses and also live-streamed.
