Human rights offer a vision of international justice that today’s idealistic millions hold dear. Yet the very concept on which the movement is based became familiar only a few decades ago when it profoundly reshaped our hopes for an improved humanity. In this pioneering book, Samuel Moyn elevates that extraordinary transformation to center stage and asks what it reveals about the ideal’s troubled present and uncertain future.
For some, human rights stretch back to the dawn of Western civilization, the age of the American and French Revolutions, or the post–World War II moment when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was framed. Revisiting these episodes in a dramatic tour of humanity’s moral history, The Last Utopia shows that it was in the decade after 1968 that human rights began to make sense to broad communities of people as the proper cause of justice. Across eastern and western Europe, as well as throughout the United States and Latin America, human rights crystallized in a few short years as social activism and political rhetoric moved it from the hallways of the United Nations to the global forefront.
It was on the ruins of earlier political utopias, Moyn argues, that human rights achieved contemporary prominence. The morality of individual rights substituted for the soiled political dreams of revolutionary communism and nationalism as international law became an alternative to popular struggle and bloody violence. But as the ideal of human rights enters into rival political agendas, it requires more vigilance and scrutiny than when it became the watchword of our hopes.
Samuel Moyn is Professor of History at Columbia University.
1 人權和國家主義的對立 2. 人權的超政治理想在實踐方面陷入道德陷阱 3. 人權作為概念的歷史--西方中心主義前設+與文化多元共存無涉. 4. 人權話語和communism的對立 Overall: 對這個field不太熟悉 於是並不覺得這本書有多犀利. 「國家」和個人之間利益的張力,道德概念在政治場域中意識形態化的後果 也太 cliched了。

评分By far the best book on the history of human rights
评分这个领域无可置疑的第一
评分作者通过细致的爬梳各国史料,描绘了各种政治势力如何将hr作为自己的工具进行解读。一方面hr作为冷战时代超越左右对立的尝试,意义被大大保守化(例如,消除了其中self determination的部分,使其最小化道德化);另一方面,hr作为各种乌托邦倒台后的替代品(the last utopia),成为了政治势力的工具。(使其最大化政治化)。
塞缪尔·莫恩的《最后的乌托邦:历史中的人权》在人权兴盛的当下是一部特别的作品。他返回到1977年以前的世界,以思想史家的客观和清醒展现了人权时代以前,“人权”话语在国际政治、社会运动、国际法等领域的处境,并揭示了我们所信仰的人权历史其实是被追溯着构建起来的,而...
评分犹记得,第一次接触人权拟制的观点,感到惊世骇俗。习惯了将人权视作自然权利不可或缺的一部分,甚至放任其凌驾国家主权之类的言论的发展。不可谓不甚嚣尘上。 人权一词本身的绝对性,导致了一种很诡谲的状态,即默恩所说的政治话语的乌托邦术语,被绑架,用来攫取私益。反殖民...
