• Resumen

  • This note is aimed at exploring and critically discussing the contribution of Claudio Corradetti's Relativism and Human Rights (Springer, 2009) to the present debate on human rights. The book provides a counterfactual and pluralistic account of human rights by relying in particular on two theoretical frameworks: the Kantian paradigm of judgment and the Hegelian concept of «concrete universality». The original combination of these perspectives attempts to cope with two main questions: on the one hand, the challenge to cognitive and practical relativism; on the other hand, the mediation between the universalistic and the contextual claim raised by human rights. I would like to show that such mediation does entail a critical potential, which becomes rather fruitful within transnational public spheres.
