A Multi-Disciplinary Perspective On Human Rights: by Dr. Dominic

This document discusses different perspectives on human rights from a multi-disciplinary point of view. It contrasts the traditional Newtonian model in social sciences that focuses on liberalism, empiricism, and positivism with an Einsteinian model that advocates for multi-disciplinarity. The Einsteinian model incorporates discourse analysis, questions the objectivity of universalism using the principle of indeterminacy, and considers subjectivity and context-specific perspectives around class, caste, and gender. It also discusses Orientalism and post-colonial cultural studies.
