This paper will discuss the notion of human rights and ask: How do fundamental human rights establish limits on toleration? By using two theories on this question, we can see how the ideas of Locke, the Rawls the Liberal also used will be Rorty; a Communitarian theorist. By combining these elements of thought into a cohesive whole, we can see how the limits re placed on human rights in today's world, as well as the older world of Locke. 5 pgs.
