Produktinformationen zu „Human Rights in Crisis “
Relying on René Girard's theory of mimetic desire and the dramatic theology
of Raymund Schwager, this monograph examines the fragility and failure of
the human rights system when faced with escalating global violence. One of
the author's central concerns is the human condition that makes violence
foundational to the social order. He also argues that the human rights crisis is
neither an accident nor a shortfall in implementation but the result of subconscious,
collective structures of civilization itself. In the theological key, the
author relates the notion of imitative desire to data of Christian hope enabling
the reader to reflect on important questions of human rights from a
fresh perspective.
This highly topical and necessarily controversial work should appeal to a
broad readership. Social and political scientists, educators, contextual theologians,
as well as readers with a critical concern for the future of human
rights, and those who are searching for new approaches to the problem of
mounting violence, will find this wide-ranging anthropological and theological
investigation both provocative and encouraging.
