Law 441 : The Philosophy of Human Rights

Human Rights is a subject of philosophy, or rather ethics, when it is understood in the context of a form of treatment for human beings, while being treated intensely by lawyers. The main aim of the philosophy is to show where the rights of the so-called "human" originate, and to conceptualize them. It is seen that some of the rights considered as 'fundamental rights and liberties' by the philosophical initiative are not a fundamental human right. This course not only enables law school students to recognize the importance of philosophically conceptualizing fundamental rights and freedoms, but also to gain certain sensitivity in the use of concepts such as 'democracy' and 'secularism'.
