Why not come along?
thanx for the link - in my view carol adams' critique of rights is a perfect xample of the misuse an misunderstanding of the consept .
good question. this is a fasinating an complex isue which we hope to be xploring in some depth on wednesday . i feel that our understanding of the consept of rights is diferent - you speak about rights-based theory as strengthening the capitalist system ,wheras its my belief that a movement with an understanding of an strong comitment to rights as its moral baseline would mean the permanant colapse of that system .
anyway,hope to see u wednesday to talk about this in mor detail.
I am wondering about the necessity of the notion of rights which in my view needs a lot of explanation in order
for it not to be 'the patriarchal one' and also one belonging/supportin an existing oppressive capitalist system. is it not an argument whether we can
and should to rescue the 'rights' or it is better to come up with a new word for the concept i assume you will talk about?
@ronnie
As you may know, the "animal rights movement" globally is a terrible philosophical mess.There ain't much rights in animal rights!
There are some (eco)feminists within the animal advocacy movement who are opposed to rights as the foundation of an ethical position - moral rights, that is, legal rights are seen as having utility.
However, there are some rights-based animal rights advocates.
I'm hoping that these intriguing issues (for me anyway!) will be fully explored on Wednesday.
hi ronnie ,
interesting point u raised ther . its true that ther is widespred critisism of the consept of rights among feminist writers/thinkers -but rights hav by no means been completly rejected by the feminist movement -nor ,in my view ,should they be .my own position is rights-based ,an i wil be xplaining my view on rights-based radical feminism in my talk on wednesday .
hope u can make it !
feminists are usually against the concept of 'rights' aren't they?
