In ‘Cultural Difference and Human Rights’, Julien Kloeg claims, with Pablo Gilabert, that theoretical attempts to justify human rights should move beyond the dichotomy of providing either a humanist or a political justification. Kloeg demonstrates how philosophical anthropology could ground an attempt to combine both types of justifications. In order to provide such a combination, he develops both a new conception of culture based on Plessner’s thinking on spatial finitude, and a Rancièrian conception of human rights.
