The evolution and critique of liberal subjectivity and rights

The limits of reinvention: human rights as tradition and critique

II. Configuring a relation: elements of a relational theory of human rights






Self as relation



Human rights as relations





Rights as formal relations



Rights as 'suprapersonal existences'




Concluding remarks; rights' discursive existence

III. Life unfolding, life recounted relational subject in the first-person perspective






In search of the self: the structure of a hermeneutical inquiry



Idem and ipse: the dialectics of selfhood and sameness



Ipseity as commitment to being: narrative and promise





Narrative identity and a relational subject of rights



Promise: ethical self-maintenance




Capacities, incapacities and rights





Esteem and respect: the link between capacities and rights



An incapable subject: a relational corrective




Attestation and trust: epistemology of subjectivity



Concluding remarks: relational subject of rights as a 'life'

IV. Neighbourly dwelling: subjectivity as a dialogue and an institution






Neighbour as an encounter: you and I





Alterity, 'othering', reciprocity and likeness



'Who is my neighbour?': solicitude and equality




Neighbour as the institution





.Neighbour as the institutional other



The 'problematic role of the state'



'In just institutions'




Concluding remarks: subject of rights as 'neighbour'

V. Human rights as gifts between strangers






Rights and gifts: rivals or allies?



Mutual recognition as reciprocal gift





Resistance is futile: the 'struggle for recognition' questioned



Gift as the source of reciprocal obligations



Gift and the recognition/redistribution divide




'Ownership is not what matters': human rights as the gifted property of persons





Questioning the property metaphor



Rights between givers




'A rally of the really human things': the priceless objects of rights





The facets of the priceless



'Life' and 'dwelling' as purposive spheres of human rights
