Ernesto Garzón Valdés

Broadly speaking, his work can be described as political theory with foundations in legal philosophy. He is a classic liberal, who especially cares about the universal protection of the individual against despotism of state authorities. This perspective is not only manifested in his disaffirmation of group-related rights, but also in the rejection of cultural relativism. He wants to clearly separate rights from arbitrary definitions made by state authorities. Topics like the relationship between the rule of law and paternalism and tolerance appealed to him even before they received widespread attention. His choice of topics has probably been influenced by his own experiences with Argentine politics. Provided by Wikipedia
