Eric Heinze

Recenzje

Eric Heinze has produced a book which cuts through years of muddled thinking on the subject. It is required reading for anyone who allows the phrase 'human rights' to cross their lips . . . [Heinze] reconnects the idea of rights to the primacy of free speech . . . an ingeniously simple argument
Joe Humphreys, Irish Times
