- When I took a philosophy course in ethical theory, one of the books we used
- was called 'Human Rights' by Alan Gewirth. In it, he constructs an ethical
- theory based on (of all things) reason. He also has another book which I
- think is called 'Reason and Morality'. I'm not sure about the title, I never
- read it, but remember it was mentioned in 'Human Rights'.
