The book critiques contemporary discussions around rights, suggesting they overshadow vital concepts like civic virtue, military effectiveness, and the legitimacy of democratic law. It integrates insights from legal and moral philosophy, moral theology, and court rulings, exploring historical perspectives from medieval Christendom to modern debates on justified killing. Through this analysis, it challenges readers to reconsider the implications of rights discourse on societal values and governance.
