하버마스의 인권 개념에 관하여

According to Habermas’s view, Human rights is legal rights, not moral rights. And also it is political rights, not natural rights that everyone inherently has. These are the most controversial aspects in Habermas’s concept of Human rights. Taking this position, he opposes to the liberal view of Human rights. In section Ⅱ, I present this concept on the respect of his “discourse theory of law” and conception of “procedural democracy”. In section Ⅲ, I argue that this concept of Human rights has several advantages in comparison to the other views of the concept, especially that of the liberal’s. In the end, I examine whether his proposal can hold to in the context of transnational order, although he developed this concept mainly with respect of a single democratic state.
