What makes you think that justice and human rights is only derived only from philosophy? I don't think early tribes spent to much time developing a logical argument for 'killing within tribe not good'. Yes philosophy added to reason but not necessarily action.
Whether the arts are "practical" or not is a philosophy question.
The foundations of justice and human rights is a philosophy question.
