Excellent- More about The Logic of Human Rights: From Subject/Object Dichotomy to Topo-Logic
Ekaterina Yahyaoui Krivenko's book explores the foundations of human rights law in the strict subject/object dichotomy and seeks to dismantle it using topo-logic,a concept developed by Nishida Kitarō. It examines the alternative views of reality and logic to demonstrate how topo-logic can enable a theoretical and practical renewal of human rights and overcome the dichotomy. The book identifies recent growth of social movements,decolonization,and diversification of discourses about human rights as indications of a movement towards a topo-logical view beyond the subject/object dichotomy.

Ekaterina Yahyaoui Krivenko delves into the intricate nature of reality and the functioning of the world,analyzing the foundations of human rights law within the strict subject/object dichotomy. Seeking to dismantle this dichotomy through the application of topo-logic, a concept developed by Japanese philosopher Nishida Kitarō, this topical book proposes innovative ways to operationalize alternative visions of human rights practice.
The subject/object dichotomy, as demonstrated by Yahyaoui Krivenko, emerges from and reflects a specific Western worldview driven by a quest for rationality and formal logic. Taking a metaphysical and epistemological approach, this book explores alternative perspectives on reality and logic, developed by Kitarō, to demonstrate how topo-logic can facilitate a theoretical and practical renewal of human rights and transcend the subject/object dichotomy.
In examining the recent growth of social movements, decolonization, and diversification of discourses about human rights, as well as substantive equality, the book identifies these developments in contemporary human rights as indications of a movement towards a topo-logical view beyond the subject/object dichotomy.
Students and scholars of critical legal studies, legal theory, and philosophy, as well as international human rights law, will find this book to be a stimulating and enriching read. It serves as a foundational resource for the potential renewal and enhancement of human rights law, while also being a valuable tool for practitioners in the field.
