Wittgenstein, Politics and Human Rights

In this highly original work, Robin Holt skillfully teases out the implications Wittgenstein's ideas on language may have for the politics of human rights, and political theory, today.

As one of the few works to consider the implications of Wittgenstein's thought in this context, this book will be a welcome challenge for philosophers and political scientists as well as those working in the field of human rights.
