ABSTRACT

Paintings were often an integral part of the building, such as images on the ceilings of a church. Sometimes the painting was transportable, but it could never be seen in two places at the same time. The metaphor represents the possibility of rewarding interaction. The Giant Orion was a gigantic warrior. In the context of the right to knowledge the Giant represents the search for knowledge and the eagerness to understand. The classic tale of the Giant Orion and the Dwarf is commonly used as a metaphor to describe the process of intellectual progress. The metaphor provides a symbolic picture of an ideal mode of cooperation that is both productive and leads to both parties reaching their goals. The basic idea behind the philosophy of human rights is that the implementation of human rights will create and provide the possibility to increase the welfare of all humans.
