Az emberi jogok vallása: viták és értelmezések

Abstract

The paper investigates the notion of human rights as an object of ‘faith’, ‘religion’ or ‘secular religion’. While the extraordinary vagueness of all such claims and the terms contained therein makes it impossible to draw any analogy with religion in general, it remains true that several features of the theory of human rights show similarities to those of certain traditions usually called religious, most importantly Christianity.
