Nicholas Wolterstorff, Justice: Rights and Wrongs
- Abstract:
- This response to Justice, Rights and Wrongs argues that Wolterstorff's defence of rights attaching to human subjects withstands Oliver O'Donovan's critique; that the concept of multiple rights is compatible with the affirmation of a larger moral order; that there is a problem with rights thought to be determined in advance of moral deliberation; that love should not only recognize rights (with Wolterstorff) but should react to their violation with retribution (against Wolterstorff); that a biblical and theological case can be made for a Christian form of eudaimonism; and that Wolterstorff's attempt to ground human worth in the love of God rather than in some capacity or other does not work.
