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.
Talk to vulcan about the arts.
Are you stating that prior to modern philosophy that there was no societal justice or rights? Tell me about the philosophy of early human tribal societies justice and human rights, other than the practical 'survival and reproduction' which all species demonstrate. Not every thing about 'justice' or 'rights' is derived from philosophy.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
