Reply to comment by contractualist in There Are No Natural Rights (without Natural Law): Addressing what rights are, how we create rights, and where rights come from by contractualist
Aren't rights simply social constructs, just as true as morality and religion?
Yeah, I do get their (all of them) practical importance though.

I greatly doubt that there are such "universal principles" in the first place.

That's a pretty biased way to describe 'reasonable'.

I wonder how does the author define terms like 'reasonable' and 'unreasonable'.

How do you define fairness? How do you define reasonableness?
