"Saying that Rights and Morality can only be a human construct is philosophically wrong . Kant proved that morality is one universal value which exists above human constructs . For instance "justice " and "freedom" are universal values that exist and can exist regardless of Man."
While I must profess a near-complete ignorance of Kant, that statement seems to border on the impossible. Could you perhaps give us some of Kant's reasoning on this matter? Because, as it stands, that seems to be an amazing thing to claim.
And, of course, what Occhi said above, just because Kant said it doesn't make it "philosophically right."
