 These scholars publicly list the inquiry into the Philosophy of Human Rights as one of their philosophical specializations. Numerous other philosophers around the world assert privately that they, too, specialize in this philosophy, although as yet they choose not to list the specialization publicly. The names of the scholars on this page are from the two directories of the philosophical profession, alternately published every two years by the Philosophical Documentation Center in Charlottesville, Virginia, USA. The Center is on the web at: www.pdcnet.org
          
Any professional philospher interested in publicly adding this inquiry to their list of philosophical specializations may do so (perhaps after first consulting with their Chair and the university President) on the Center's website at: www.pdcnet.org/dirfac.html
