Leaving unstated it’s probably many connections with Chinese traditional cultures, it [this paper] seeks to articulate some main theses of the tradition that, owing as much (if not more) to Hebrew prophets as to Greek philosophers, is foundational for a critical appropriation and defence of authentic human rights. Leaving many important human rights unstated, it tries to identify the rational foundations for them all, in nine theses.
