Abstract
Durante mucho tiempo se ha mantenido que el desarrollo de la cultura legal, política y social de respeto de los derechos humanos en Inglaterra y en el mundo Anglófono se originó en el siglo diecisiete, el siglo de la Revolución inglesa. Este trabajo cuestiona la idea de que hubo un discurso de derechos humanos, en el sentido de derechos que se abstraían de lugares, circunstancias y categorías sociales y que se asociaban a individuos qua individuos, durante ese periodo. Por el contrario, se sugiere que el desarrollo de dicho discurso se impedía porque se enfatizaban los derechos colectivos antes que los individuales; tanto la limitación legal de los derechos personales como la de los poderes ejecutivos de gobierno; los deberes antes que los derechos; y los imperativos religiosos además de los imperativos constitucionales.
The development ofa legal, political and social culture ofrespect for human rights in England, and from thence in the Anglophone world, has long been held to have its origins in the seventeenth century, the century of the English Revolution. This essay challenges the perception that there was a discourse of human rights, in the sense of rights abstracted from particular places, circumstances and social categories and associated with individuals qua individuals, in this periodo Instead, it is suggested that the development of a discourse of human rights was impeded by an emphasis on collective, rather than individual, rights; on the legal limitation of personal rights as well as the executive powers of government; on duty rather than rights; and on religious as well as constitutional imperatives.
