Douglas B. Rasmussen and Douglas J. Den Uyl maintain that a realist turnâ€”namely, one in which the natural order is the basis for individual rightsâ€”is needed to bring about a proper understanding and defense of liberty. They argue that the critical character of individual rights results from their being tethered to metaphysical realism. After reprising their explanationÂ and defense of natural rights, Rasmussen and Den Uyl explain metaphysical realism and defend it against neo-pragmatist objections.Â They show it to be a formidable and preferable alternative to epistemic constructivism and crucial for a suitable understanding of ideal theory.
