Right:
6.Something that is due to a person or governmental body by law, tradition, or nature(nature- being the natural rights folks): “Certain rights can never be granted to the
government, but must be kept in the hands of the people” (Eleanor Roosevelt).
What is due to you need not depend on reason, morality, truth, or anything else.
>Rights are moral principles grounded in logic. They only exist in the minds of conscious people. Rights are simply one
of the many products of reason. To the extent that reason is absent or under-utilized--to that extent, rights will be
unrecognized. When the moral principles of rights are applied to agreements and laws, we find their application is
commensurate to how well they were understood in the realm of logic and ideas, just as the ideas of physics,
mathematics, etc.--when properly understood by the logic that paints them--can build computers and put men on the
moon.<
I see absolutely no way for you to prove the above. The only rights demonstrable are the rights society, as social contract, grants you in one civilization or another. Any other rights are as fanciful as Gods, or fairies. They might exist, but since there is absolutely no proof of them- why put your faith in them? |
