CRÍTICA AL FIDEÍSMO DE LOS DERECHOS HUMANOS DE NORBERTO BOBBIO

Norberto Bobbio's claim that it is not necessary to seek an absolute justification/or human rights, but to protect them, is well known. This paper presents Bobbio's position, shows its similarities and differences with that of authors like Maritain and Villey, and subjects it to a critical analysis. We conclude that Bobbio's argument has several flaws, such as the genetic fallacy and the naturalistic fallacy. Furthermore, even his own ideas on how to protect human rights are debatable.
