Learning objectives

The course of Philosophy of Human Rights and Pluralism aims at providing students with a wide overview on human rights and their impact on the increasing pluralistic structure of contemporary societies. In particular, during the course students will gradually learn to tackle complex issues concerning the concept of human rights in relation to pluralism within the constitutional rule of law and the international legal order. 

Focusing on some specific human rights, students will be also guided in understanding the extent to which pluralism represents the ultimate test bench for human rights practice or a sound reason for rethinking their universalistic claims.  

Contents

After a conceptual overview on the gradual emergence of human rights, attention will be given to their normative and theoretical configuration within the constitutional rule of law and the international legal order. Such a preliminary analysis will lead to an adequate comprehension of pluralism as an ongoing process and stable factor of cultural, ethnic, and religious diversification. 

For the purpose of grasping the manyfold fragility of our societies, the relation between human rights and pluralism will be scrutinized in both general terms and with reference to specific human rights (notably the right to freedom of religion).

Detailed program

The course will investigate the following topics:

-from sovereign States to sovereign subjects;

- human rights and the concept of State sovereignty;

- a new international legal order and the place of human rights;

-the theoretical structure of human rights; 

-secular vs religious perspectives on human rights;

- a philosophical reading of pluralism;

-human rights and the implementation of pluralism;

-a case study: the right to freedom of religion;

-pluralism and French laïcité(s);

-contested human rights and fragile pluralism.
