Oddbean new post about login | logout What are rights and where do they come from?
Rights are obligations on others. They come from two beings each recognizing the other as a subject, or end, in themselves rather than just an object
By that definition you can’t “take them” since you need both parties to recognize or even agree on these supposed obligations Also, where do they come from?
No, you can't take them, you can only enforce them or violate them "They" are really only one: property Again, the right of property comes from the nature of man in the universe and the nature of interactions between persons
Bingo Not quite, but a lot of them boil down to that That’s just roundabout way of saying rights come from God, but sure. Anything else is by definition subjective and a matter of opinion.

“A right is the social extension of a natural power. The words ‘natural’ and ‘power’ need to be understood in the traditional, that is, the teleological sense.” I suggest checking out the quoted book “The Politics of the Real” by DC Schindler. An incredible book that covers this topic.
