On Human Rights in the Context of Economic Thought: An Alternative Approach Through the Idea of Public Use of Reason
Özet
The dissertation attempts to account for an alternative connection between human rights
and economics. It suggests that this connection involves a comprehensive analysis of
the idea of public use of reason. The fundamental concepts of political economy, such as
civil society and state, are then re-visited within a conceptual framework which is
originally based on Kant’s notion of becoming mature, but at the same time, surpassing
it in the extent of the pluralistic society.
