Abstract

Abstract This review essay registers sincere appreciation for John Witte’s singular contribution to defending the importance of the history and interpretation of rights in the Western tradition, especially as related to Christian thought and practice. It also proposes to amend and refine his approach by highlighting the difference between natural and religious justifications of rights, and by suggesting reasons for favoring the former.
宗教与权利的正当性
这篇评论文章真诚地感谢约翰·维特在捍卫西方传统中历史和权利解释的重要性方面做出的独特贡献,特别是与基督教思想和实践有关的贡献。它还建议通过强调权利的自然理由和宗教理由之间的区别,并提出赞成前者的理由,来修正和完善他的方法。
