Human rights should be formulated according to a hierarchy of transcendent moral values derived from the concept of goodness. The relations of human rights can be ordered according to the formal relations of transcendent moral value. The formal relations of moral values should be unambiguous because of their common derivation from one principle, the "good". However, the logical problem of the self-predication of "the good" and the epistemological problems of establishing its features frustrate the attempt to put moral values in a unified hierarchical order. Consequently an attempt may be made to formulate human rights without reference to a transcendent concept of goodness. An agnostic concept of human rights may employ a principle of personal liberty to provide a groundwork for the concept of human right. It will turn out that liberty by itself does not suffice to ground human right because human right entails universality. Since no human beings can be excluded from the entitlement of human rights, a concept of equality must be introduced to distribute personal liberty to all humans. The concept of equality should then generate moral relations between human beings without reference to the concept of transcendent goodness. However, conceptual problems involved in the concept of equality render it incapable of independently functioning as a foundation for human rights. In order to resolve the conceptual problems of equality, reference must be made to the concept of moral goodness. The agnostic foundation of rights is incoherent because it must ultimately presuppose the concept of transcendent value which it intended to abandon.
