Topic > Human rights according to Griffin's personality theory

Both the pluralist and personality conceptions will produce highly indeterminate and, or, unreasonable norms without specifying the threshold for when an interest or autonomy generates a right over others . Griffin introduces this threshold by adding the further foundation of “practicability,” according to which rights need sufficient content to generate a socially manageable claim. A pluralist perspective introduces a threshold criterion through understanding the right to be an imposition of duties on others, as well as evaluating the “impossibility” and “honesty” of an interest. Therefore, if we are not evaluating when a right is generated, but rather what can serve as the foundation of human right, we return to the question of why the interest of freedom and autonomy are more pertinent to the human condition than any other interest
