  By tracing the relativist and universalist arguments of human rights through such issues as criminal justice, women's rights, and ethnicity, the contributors forge a new way of looking at this dichotomy. This new view is articulated as a sort of chastened universalism, not as concerned with searching for pre-existing common values among different cultures, but for ways to create them.
