Book Description: Building on the materials of the first two volumes in their trilogy on human rights, in this third volume Blau and Moncada situate many of their arguments within the classical tradition of critical social science, but they also advance the genre of utopian social thought. This is not, in their hands, a speculative undertaking. They draw from empirical evidence, including many national comparisons. In volume 2, for example, they show how the U.S. Constitution could be updated and revised to include the human rights provisions that most other constitutions do, and in volume 3 they discuss ways that participatory democracy could work in the United States and elsewhere, and they lay out possibilities for economic democracy and worker ownership. In volume 3 they build a sturdy conceptual foundation, drawing especially from Peter Singer, Amartya Sen, Jean Paul Sartre and Hannah Arendt, to lay out the imperative of human rights, deep forms of democracy, and the protection of collective, common goods. As social scientists, they show how human rights, democracy, and the protection of common goods can be embedded in social practices and processes.
