Download Alan Dershowitz on the Origins of Human Rights at the 92nd Street Y AudioBook Free
Where do "rights" come from? Professor Alan Dershowitz provides an entirely new resolution to the age-old dilemma: rights, he argues, do not come from God, nature, logic, or law alone, but from particular encounters with injustice, and from trial and error. He also touches on the rights of prisoners and the problem in the Middle East. His new book is Rights from Wrongs. Professor Dershowitz speaks with Jeffrey Toobin, CNN legal analyst and New Yorker staff writer. This event took place on December 12, 2004.
