Thank you for your kind words, and thank you for sharing your thoughts. I think academics and society in general have not sufficiently thought through the concept of rights. Your perspective is helpful in starting t get to the heart of the issue. I've written about recognition, which is essential to the social understanding and honoring of general and individual rights, but I haven't yet reached the core issue of what to consider rights as being. Coming from the perspective of recognition, I completely agree with your empasis on mutual respect.
