| Long abstract | The rights claimed under the title rights of man, in the rigorous and almost technical sense which that expres-sion has taken on since the eighteenth century — the right to respect for the human dignity of the individual, the rights to life, liberty, and equality before the law for all men — are based on an original sense of the right, or the sense of an original right. And this is the case, independently of the chronology of the causes, the psychological and social processes and the contingent variations of the rise of these rights to the light of thought. For today’s way of thinking, these rights are more legitimate than any legislation, morethan just any justification. They are probably, however complex their appli-cation to legal phenomena may be, the measure of all law and, no doubt, of its ethics. The rights of man are, in any case, one of the law’s latent principles, whose voice — sometimes loud, sometimes muffled by reality’s necessities, sometimes interrupting and shattering them — can be heard throughout his-tory, ever since the first stirrings of consciousness, ever since Mankind. |
