H. Odera Oruka on Moral Reasoning
摘要
The chapter looks at how the principles of humanhuman rights, sagacity and Human Minimum, relate to one another. It argues that the Human Minimum theory preserves human rights and serves as the cornerstone of human rights equality. Oruka proposed the ethical principle of the right to a human minimum as a means of making sure we live a decent life on earth that is, a style of living controlled by egalitarian principles of fairness by ethical observing our duty toward one another’s well-being. In this chapter, we focus on evaluating Oruka’s assertion of this ethical concept. We will outline what the right to a human minimum involves in order to clarify why it is not only essential for one to conduct morally, but also the basis upon which other human rights can be adequately enjoyed.
