Synopsis
This book makes two important contributions toward a general and systematic theory of rights-a powerful philosophical analysis of the language of rights and an explanation of the nature of rights. In working out these ideas, Wellman has provided a new and cohesive way of thinking and talking about rights of every sort.
Wellman succeeds in bringing all kinds of rights-moral, legal, institutional, etc.-under one unified theory in a way that illuminates their similarities and differences. This enables him to deal in a consistent way with a very broad range of philosophical questions, questions that are too often dealt with in isolation from each other.

Review
This book is about the nature and functions of the concept of a right, and it is probably the most complete and plausible theory in that area to date...high quality work having considerable philosophical originality...this is a valuable contribution to moral and legal philosophy. (Nickel, James)
A clearly argued, well-written work recommended for professional philosophers. (Library Journal)
