Summary

Since the seventeenth century, concern in the Western world for the welfare of the individual has been articulated most often as a concern for his rights. The modern conception of individual rights resulted from abandonment of ancient, value-laced ideas of nature and their replacement by the modern, mathematically transparent idea of nature that has room only for individuals, often in confl ict. In A Philosophical History of Rights, Gary B. Herbert reviews the historical evolution of the concept and the transformation of the problems through which the concept is defi ned.
