The debate Why do we need human rights? took place on April
10th, 2013 at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Adam Mickiewicz
University in Poznań. It was a part of the conference Philosophy
is changing the world! organized under the auspices of Public Philosophy
& Democratic Education journal. The participants of the
debate were the youth from middle and high schools in Poznań
and Greater Poland and invited experts from the Institute of Philosophy,
AMU: Dr. Karolina M. Cern, Dr. Andrzej W. Nowak,
Dr. Krzysztof Przybyszewski. Discussion was moderated by Dr.
Piotr W. Juchacz. Youth was asking, inter alia, about what human
rights are and how freedom is understood within human rights;
whether human rights are associated with the European culture or
have universal character; whether international documents relating
to human rights are fully respected in Poland; and whether
attempts at restricting the access to certain content on the Internet
is a violation of human rights.
