Barbarism represents acritique, from the perspective of Michel Henry's unique philosophy of life, ofthe increasing potential of science and technology to destroy the roots ofculture and the value of the individual human being. For Henry, barbarismis the result of a devaluation of human life and culture that can betraced back to the spread of quantification, the scientific method andtechnology over all aspects of modern life. The book develops a compellingcritique of capitalism, technology and education and provides a powerfulinsight into the political implications of Henry's work. It also opens up a newdialogue with other influential cultural critics, such as Marx, Husserl, and Heidegger.First published in French in 1987, Barbarismaroused great interest as well as virulent criticism. Today the bookreveals what for Henry is a cruel reality: the tragic feeling of powerlessnessexperienced by the cultured person. Above all he argues for the importanceof returning to philosophy in order to analyse the root causes ofbarbarism in our world.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis and commentary on the decisions - technically known as views - of the United Nations Human Rights Committee, which is an independent and quasi-judicial international body established under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Each of the substantive rights and freedoms set out in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights is considered in detail, by analysis of final reviews and comments of the Human Rights Committee. Practitioners will benefit from this review and consideration of determinations of ICCPR rights - those rights being reflected throughout various international and domestic human rights instruments. This will hold particular appeal for practitioners in States party to the International Covenant, but the relevance of the text is not limited to specific consideration of the ICCPR procedure. The willingness of other judicial bodies to make reference to the International Covenant is evident throughout systems such as the European Convention on Human Rights, the Inter-American Human Rights System and Canada's Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
