THE nature and origin of rights are perhaps more important now than in any time in world history. However, the underlying philosophical foundation of rights in mainstream political philosophy is rife with confusion and grave philosophical errors. Libertarian political philosophy provides a more principled basis for rights, but is generally incomplete or limited in certain respects due to underlying issues in philosophy and science.
An in-depth exploration of the nature and origin of rights leads into a variety of subjects and foundational topics in philosophy, down to the very nature of knowledge, language, perception, consciousness, metaphysics, and reality itself.
This blog explores the numerous fundamental subjects underlying the nature and origin of rights as an extension of a larger project on this topic. Science and philosophy together permit a better understanding of reality that is capable of firmly grounding rights, providing a solid framework for a political philosophy capable of sustaining modern civilization.
