Abstract
There are at least two good reasons for connecting phenomenological research and the problem of human rights. The first is of a general nature: phenomenology has been important to legal philosophy from the very beginning of its development. The second is, that modernity has widely accepted the rights language, that is the language of rights and duties, as appropriately expressing the essence of man. Both reasons have their own difficulties and philosophical as well as legal-theoretical consequences. However, both are fascinating themes for research to phenomenologists.
