What's Wrong with Rights? argues that contemporary rights-talk obscures the importance of civic virtue, corrodes military effectiveness, and subverts the democratic legitimacy of law. It draws upon legal and moral philosophy, moral theology, and court judgments. The discussion ranges from medieval Christendom to debates about justified killing.
