Tra moral sentiments e political emotions. Ripensare le emozioni nei diritti umani

What kind of relationship exists between the emotional dimension and rights? This study tries to show how emotions are an element on which theoretical reflection has focused, and in particular in relation to human rights. Many scholars – in particular, this text refers to the theories of Martha Nussbaum – have begun to rethink issues related to the foundation and recognition of human rights through the social and moral reassessment of emotions. Political ethics, emotions and attention to human life become elements through which the history and culture of human rights are rethought.
