Most of the theories of rights propounded by philosophers, right from the beginning till the twentieth century, conceive rights either as a claim against the state or an obligation upon the state. Certainly such a conception has had something to do with the prevailing social, political and economic systems of the time concerned. Social, political and economic systems also had a particular relationship amongst them. Change in individual and social perspectives, values, priorities and beliefs has affected the philosophy of right. From the ages of Locke and Hobbes when natural right was taken in obvious terms to the times of communitarians like Michael Sandel and thinkers like Ronald Dworkin the term “Right” has earned many dimensions. Progress and changing arrangements of systems complicates the status of a philosophical theory of rights propounded at a particular time, in the sense that its losses its teeth in any new found milieu. This paper evaluates the notion of abstract universalism of individual rights in the light of Gandhian notion of duty.

权利与义务和当代人权辩论

从一开始到 20 世纪,哲学家提出的大多数权利理论都将权利视为对国家的要求或对国家的义务。当然,这样的概念与当时流行的社会、政治和经济制度有关。社会、政治和经济制度在它们之间也有着特殊的关系。个人和社会观点、价值观、优先事项和信仰的变化影响了权利哲学。从洛克和霍布斯时代,自然权利被明显地采用,到迈克尔·桑德尔这样的社群主义者和罗纳德·德沃金这样的思想家时代,“权利”一词已经赢得了许多维度。系统的进步和不断变化的安排使特定时间提出的权利哲学理论的地位复杂化,因为它在任何新发现的环境中都失去了作用。本文根据甘地的义务观念对个人权利的抽象普遍主义观念进行了评价。
