Changeux confronts an ancient philosophical problem: can we know the world as it really is? Drawing on new findings on the psychophysiology of perception and judgment in primates, and on the cultural history of science, he makes a case for scientific progress and argues that it forms the basis for a coherent and universal theory of human rights.
