| | Human Rights [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
 | | Human rights are rights we give to ourselves, so to speak, as autonomous and formally equal beings. | | | In so claiming, Gewirth echoes Dworkin's concept of rights as trumps, but ultimately goes further than Dworkin is prepared to do by arguing that the right to life is absolute and cannot, therefore, be overridden under any circumstances. | | | Similarly, the concept of individual rights continued to resound throughout the 19th. |

| | Right - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | However, rights must be understood by someone in order to have legal existence, so the understanding of rights is a social prerequisite for the existence of rights. | | | For instance, the rights of a father to be respected by his son did not indicate a duty upon the father to return that respect, and the divine right of kings to hold absolute power over their subjects did not leave room for many rights to be granted to the subjects themselves. | | | A right is the power or privilege to which one is justly entitled or a thing to which one has a just claim. |
