This article seeks to challenge the regnant liberal orthodoxy that human rights are the highest and most important of our social virtues. It questions the individualist assumptions of such universal claims and draws attention to the need for belonging as something too often ignored if not denigrated in certain academic and liberal circles. Rather than a politics predicated solely on individual rights it argues for a politics of communal difference predicated on shared experience rather than ideological uniformity.

人权，归属感和差异挑战

本文旨在挑战那种顽固的自由主义正统观念，即人权是我们社会美德中最高和最重要的。它质疑这种普遍主张的个人主义假设，并提请人们注意归属的必要性，因为如果某些学术和自由派人士对此不予否认的话，这种归属常常被忽略。它主张的是基于共同经验而不是意识形态统一性的社会差异政治，而不是仅仅基于个人权利的政治。
