Justice V. R. Krishna Iyer and Expansive Interpretation of Fundamental Rights

Aristotle seems to be primarily concerned to discover and refine the moral standards by which human beings should be governed. What laws are to be used to establish and maintain those standards depends on the good sense of the community and the prudence of its leaders, including its poets and other educators. In particular, his views on the connection between the well-being of the political community and that of the citizens who make it up, his belief that citizens must actively participate in politics if they are to be happy and virtuous, and his analysis of what causes and prevents revolution within political communities have been a source of inspiration for many contemporary

Wendy Brown’s argument that constructions of manhood and politics are interrelated explains her theory that political theorists discussions of human experience derive specifically from male experience, representing traditions through masculine perspectives and values. Some relationships that Brown identifies between manliness and politics in Aristotle’s work is master and the slave, husband and the family, man and the animal, and the realm of politics and the realm of necessity. Aristotle proclaimed man a political animal and the world of the polis his natural habitat. Brown’s feminist analysis of Western political thought goes straight

The MY OWN BOSWELL : MEMOIRS OF M. HIDAYATULLAHA is the autobiography of an eminent Indian lawyer M. Hidayatullah who has won most of the prizes available to one of his profession in India. The title, he explains in the preface, was taken from the subtitle of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes ' Aristocrat of the Breakfast Table: Every man his own Boswell.

Politics may have been the tool by which man creates good, but politics does not mean the same thing as living a political life. Aristotle claimed that those who engaged in a political life do so out of vanity in order to gain personal honor. Because this only serves to inflate a single person's ego, this is considered to be an empty and vain course of action. Two other ways of life that Aristotle believed were

In "The Politics", Aristotle would have us believe that man by nature is a political animal. In other words, Aristotle seems to feel that the most natural thing for men to do is to come together in some form of political association. He then contends that this political association is essential to the pursuit of the good life. Finally he attempts to distinguish what forms of political association are most suitable to the pursuit of this good life. In formulating a critique of "The Politics", we shall first examine his claims as to what is natural to man and whether the criterion of the natural is sufficient to demonstrate virtue. We shall then examine what it is about political association that

A bench of the Supreme Court has in Bankura Municipality v. Lalji Raja and Sons[2] held that:

Aristotle's view of politics is expressed in his writing, Politics. Rather than focusing on the individual Aristotle is more intent on the regime, and the highest goal, justice. Another main point is that people must live together, thus having a united regime. The family unit was highly respected, for the household is where people originate. Aristotle's political science encompasses the two

Political theory is the study of concepts that allows for the analytical study of relationships between political institutions. Over the centuries, political theorists have established renditions of what political theory is. This essay will focus on Plato, Nietzsche, and Aristotle, and their works, which respectively define the concepts of the common good and the significance of philosophers to the welfare of the state, self-deceiving intellect and the power of authority over our intellectual lives, and the concepts of interdependency and the importance of virtue and happiness for a successful political framework.

In order to understand a political theory, it is important to understand the theorist’s views of human nature. Aristotle believed that humans were naturally political, or as he called them “political animals”, which means that humans are inclined towards politics and innately want to participate. He also believed

The Supreme Court in the case of Smt. Gian Kaur v. The State of Punjab held that the term “life” as discussed under Article 21 includes “A life with human dignity”. The scope of article 21 has been widened to a great deal by the brilliant judgements and now it isn’t restricted to merely “basic human needs”. The most recent judgement by the Supreme Court 9 judge bench in Justice K S Puttaswamy (Retd.) and Anr. v. Union of India and Anr. Wherein the Supreme Court gives every person to live in a separate core and that core is inviolable i.e. a life without any interference from others. While we discuss the concept of collective social welfare and giving up of Rights, the extent to which rights can are curtailed cannot be looked upon. Even Justice Kishan Kaul in his separate Judgement has acknowledged as follows ““The right to be”, though not extinguished for an individual, as the society evolved, became hedged in by the complexity of the norms. There has been a growing concern of the impact of technology which breaches this “right to be”, or privacy – by whatever name we may call it.”

Kriti Gautam Professor Sherry Sharifian Federal Government 2305-71433 7 October 2017 Civil Liberties and Civil Rights-Fundamentals to the US Constitution Civil liberties are “The fundamental individual rights of a free society, such as freedom of speech and the right to a jury trial, which in the United States are protected by the Bill of Rights” (Patterson 126). 1 Civil rights are rights for freedom and equality. The main difference between civil liberties and civil rights is that civil rights pertain to how people treat others, and civil liberties pertain to the actual freedom that individuals enjoy. They are similar in that they both promote the protection of freedom in the constitution. Civil rights have had more influence on my life, because, as a minority, life would have been so different without civil rights. Also, if not everyone can enjoy civil liberties through civil rights, then there might as well be no Bill of Rights to protect the fundamental human rights.

Aristotle’s contribution towards political theory had developed through his encounters of various models of governance as he travelled throughout the years (Miller 2011). Aristotle contributed vast aspects around political thought in the time in which he lived. Not only is Aristotle well known for his understanding of good governance and how it can be achieved, but rather his famous account of man, that man, “is by nature a political being; it is his nature to live in a polis” (A. R. Moten 1996). Aristotle’s work offers as a great springboard when considering political thinkers such as Machiavelli and contrasting these theories to that of a theocratic society being
