This makes them vulnerable to criticisms from the left which emphasize the importance of social relationships to individual well-being. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBenton's argument supports the important assumption, underpinning the cause for human rights, that humans and other species of animal have much in common, both in the conditions for their well-being and their vulnerability to harm. Both liberal rights theory and its socialist critique fail adequately to theorize these aspects of human vulnerability. Nevertheless, it is argued that, enriched by feminist and ecological insights, a socialist view of rights has much to offer. Lucid and wide-ranging in its argument, \u003ci\u003eNatural Relations\u003c\/i\u003e enables the outline of an ecological socialist view of rights and justice to begin to take shape.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTed Benton\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Sociology at the University of Essex.
