The idea of
natural rights implies that there is a transcendent truth that must be obeyed by members of a society. Using the thought of Gilles Deleuze, one can see rights not as a static and universal entity outside of society but a virtual field of possibilities that are actualized in a government and its laws. This virtual field of rights is what a person has the power to do as their human capacity. Rights viewed in this way allows for constant protection from the imposition of government or other social actors, but avoids a universality that can be open to interpretation and abuse.
