Wrongs and Rights Come Apart

It is common to regard rights and wrongs as mirror images: to be wronged is to have one's rights violated. Nicolas Cornell rejects this view. Drawing on diverse real-world examples, he argues that rights determine how we ought to shape our interpersonal conduct, while wrongs alone tell us what corrective action is appropriate after a violation.
