Friday, 6 December 2019 - 3.00pm
Location: 
Faculty of Law, G28 (The Beckwith Moot Court Room)

Speaker: Miguel Garcia-Godinez (Glasgow)

Rights are objects intentionally created for a certain purpose. That is, they are artificial entities of a certain kind. Based on this characterisation, I argue that their artificial nature is constituted by both a certain concept of rights (associated with a certain type-description) and a certain form of collective recognition (viz., a social or an institutional practice of recognition). To elucidate these elements, I conclude, we need conceptual analysis and socio-ontological investigation.
