161The foundation of human rights has been a key issue in philosophical and legal debates since World War II, especially with some rights charters presented as universal. This claim has been increasingly questioned by relativist critiques. However, some authors, from existentialist positions, have sought a philosophical and anthropological foundation to justify human rights beyond historical contingencies. Jeanne Hersch is a prominent voice in this legal humanism: for her, the defining trait of humanity, requiring ethical-legal recognition, is the innate potential for freedom. This research aims to explore key themes in Hersch’s thought: freedom as "capability", the recognition of the other-than-self as an empathic act necessary to "become a person", and universal tolerance grounded in the "vacuum that orients". These themes invite a deeper exploration of Hersch’s affinities with related philosophical currents: Kantian transcendentalism, the humanism of Jaspers and Weil, and Lévinas’s ethics of responsibility.
