Lynn Hunt and The French Revolution. This paper discusses Lynn Hunt's "The French Revolution and Human Rights". The paper examines Hunt's point about how the ideals of human rights philosophy in the French Revolution were far ahead of their time. They set the foundation for the rights that Black slaves, Jews, and women eventually received. Hunt demonstrates how the mere discussion of rights for Jews, Black slaves and women were a testament to the progressive mindset of French society - despite its obvious anti-Semitism, racism and sexism. 5 pgs.
