This work addresses contemporary human rights issues as well as aesthetic and historical reflections on rights. It address rights as a matter of historical evolution, philosophy, and social norms. The work employs academic, journalistic, and commentary styles and is intended to engage both historical scenes and contemporary events.

As the second decade of the twenty-first century closes, challenges to human rights have deepened. Democracy is under stress, cultural battles within states have become heightened, and strongman politics are on the rise. Contemporary and historical reflections on rights are perhaps more pressing than ever - projects this book takes on via plain-language forms blending academic and commentary-based styles.

Ben Dorfman is associate professor of intellectual and cultural history associated with the Democracy, Migration and Movements (DEMOS) research group at Aalborg University, and head of the Language and International Studies programs.

Ben Dorfman’s new book offers plenty of insights in an excellent and thought-provoking contribution to the scholarship on human rights and philosophy, global governance, and aesthetics. It stands out with delightful prose, beyond the common academic style, ingeniously relating theory on those decisive issues to the threats and dilemmas of the present.
