The experience of human rights is manifested through lights and shadows, since rights take their form in a complex game of reflections in which the demands for emancipation are linked to the logic of domination. From a phenomenological point of view, rights seem to be crossed by a dichotomy through which universality does not modify (perhaps consolidates) the fact of its ineffectiveness, generality does not resolve (perhaps hides) discriminatory dynamics, multiplication rather than peace social produces contrast. Legal regimes of rights are also interested in the transformation of the production process itself; This derives from a complication of the relationship between politics and justice: at the same time that politics is judicialized, justice is politicized. The profound changes present in the contemporary world, which shape a new geopolitical space and an unprecedented pluralism of values ​​in a context of cultural diversity, act as factors that modify the meaning of the human rights discourse. The analyzes contained in this volume are developed on different legal and philosophical areas. Starting from the direct examination of some key issues, they highlight these complex problems and point out the urgent need for reflection on possible ways to correspond to the demands for freedom and justice expressed in the demand for rights.
