In this episode, Leslie Allan and Akiva Quinn engage in dialogue in an exploration of the nature and grounding of human rights. Do they exist? If so, what justifies them? How can we best understand the nature and extent of human rights? Is the moral theory of utilitarianism an adequate underpinning of human rights, or are rights justified by ascriptions of human dignity or autonomy? Or something else?
