Reading for Monday
The reading assignments for Monday are short excerpts from the writing of three critics of the idea of rights. Marx's "On the Jewish Question" is in Ishay's collection. The other two, Burke and Bentham, are not. I'm going to select a few pages worth of Burke and give you a link to the document tomorrow. Bentham's essay, "Anarchical Fallacies," his commentary on the rhetoric of rights coming from French revolutionaries, can be found here. This is a 19 page document. For class, I'd like to you read the first 13 pages, Bentham's opening comments and his commentary on the first first, second, and fourth articles of the declaration of rights. This takes you up to line 485.
