The theme of human rights is considered a relevant and spread field of research. Many scholars of the most varied currents of thought and political affiliations have been working on the subject with great passion – not without reason. This movement is exactly what has hindered the lay reader to distinguish, in the debate about human rights, analytical arguments of more purposeful approaches. The aim of this paper is to show those who are introducing in this topic of research, at least two different levels in which the literature of area addresses the issue of human rights. We also use two examples for the treatment of the phenomenon: on one hand, an explanation of analytical-descriptive nature, and on the other hand, a more prescriptive-normative approach. The aim of this course is to enable students to understand the different functions of one and other type of handling of the theoretical-conceptual tools of the area.References
